"The Sheridan family fought for King and country through the Great War. Two of the brothers were killed in action. Now, two days before Christmas 1939, the one who survived against all odds faces another world war. Sir Christopher Sheridan, knighted for his services to world peace, had believed he would grow old in the exquisite Dorset village of Tarrant Royal. But he is wearing khaki again, knowing that the War Office desperately needs his formidable Intelligence skills and experiences.
World War II is destined to shake the Sheridan family to its foundations. Not one of the relationships will survive those fateful years intact. The devastation of Gallipoli and the trenches of the Western Front crippled the family, but the effects of this second conflict are, if anything more profound. Sir Christopher, whose marriage had entered calmer waters after 1918, now finds it under threat again as he encounters a beautiful artistic woman who revives a past love.
David, his son, obsessed by the legend of his Uncle Rex, the Royal Flying Corps ace, is driven to emulate him when his Spitfire squadron takes to the air against the Luftwaffe. Within weeks, however, a tragic incident leads David to regard his D.F.C. as an empty award. Dogged by failure, he is posted to Singapore. There he meets the lovely Su Lim, whose serene Oriental manner suggests that she can provide the peace he is seeking. But peace is the last thing he finds in the Far East.
Vesta, David's sister, embittered by an abortive affair early in the war with a Polish flier, joins the A.T.S. and learns the hard way what it takes to be a woman on active service. Later, as an official war artist, she follows the Desert Rats from El Alamein and thence into Italy, and there embarks on a tangled passionate relationship with a man she finds as haunting and unforgettable as the desert.
In 'And in the Morning' Elizabeth Darrell has once again woven the most spellbinding story of human emotions set against an impeccably researched background. So vivid is this backcloth that the reader feels a part of the Sheridan family, fighting with them, suffering their losses and pain, and experiencing the depth of their loves during those six tumultuous years."
