ONE WOMAN'S SEARCH FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE. BUT WILL SHE FIND PLEASURE OR PAIN?
Faced with a future that holds little promise, Lydia Halley longs to leave home. But it is only after her mother's tragic death that she finally seizes her chance of freedom - a freedom she has yearned for all her life.
Taking up lodgings in the bustling city of Redbury, she meets handsome stranger Guy Anderson and so begins a friendship which blossoms into love.
Until one day a telegram from Italy brings devastating news for Guy and their passionate leave-taking has dramatic consequences for them both.
Jess Foley was born in Wiltshire but moved to London to study at the Chelsea School of Art, and then worked for several years as a painter and actor before writing So Long At The Fair. This was followed by Too Close to the Sun. Jess lives in Blackheath, southeast London. Wait for the Dawn is Jess Foley's fourth novel.
