In a sprawling tale set against desert campaigns and a Royal Ravenscroft estate, Bertie Damer faces hard choices as he plans a memorable day with Nona before a likely separation.

The piece follows Bertie’s return from war and the social reverberations of his heroism, including love letters, engagements, and a looming county leadership role.
