When Jinny Hendrie's love leaves Edinburgh to fight in the Second
World War, she faces an uncertain future. Do even the darkest clouds
have silver linings?
1937, Edinburgh. Attractive, dark-eyed Jinny Hendrie is happy enough
in her job in the accounts office of a large bakery - until handsome
Viennese cake expert Viktor Linden walks into her life with the promise
of an exciting future. Although her father and her kind-hearted boss,
Ross MacBain, warn against it, Jinny is determined to marry Viktor but,
when war is declared between Great Britain and Germany, all her plans
are in ruins. Austria has joined forces with Hitler; Viktor has become
an enemy and must return home to fight.
Troubled years lie ahead without news of him, and while Jinny and Ross
find new love, there are huge question marks over their future. When the
war is over, will Viktor return? And if he does, will this lead to
happiness . . . or heartbreak?
