The English village of Wealding is no longer troubled by distant sirens, yet the rustling coils of barbed wire are a reminder that something, some quality of life, has evaporated. Together again after years of separation, Laura and Stephen Marshall and their daughter Victoria are forced to manage without "those anonymous caps and aprons who lived out of sight and pulled the strings." Their rambling garden refuses to be tamed, the house seems perceptibly to crumble. But alone on a hillside, as evening falls, Laura comes to see what it would have meant if the war had been lost, and looks to the future with a new hope and optimism. First published in 1947, this subtle, finely wrought novel presents a memorable portrait of the aftermath of war, its effect upon a marriage, and the gradual but significant change in the nature of English middle-class life.</div></div> 1775635 1947 One Fine Day (Virago Modern Classics) total:7|5:2|4:3|3:2|2:0|1:0| 7 28 33 1 5 1 false false Mon Jan 19 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Apr 22 13:21:36 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 22 09:36:32 -0800 2009 While Britain has come out of the war victorious, life has not returned to what it once was and for most, it never will...more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Nov 12 05:05:42 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 08:22:23 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Oct 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 05:35:36 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 05:35:44 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Oct 26 11:54:13 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 11:54:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 20 20:07:59 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 20:07:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 20 19:05:43 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 19:05:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 08 14:07:57 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 14:07:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 16 10:44:37 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 10:44:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 31 10:31:33 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 10:31:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 27 10:13:16 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 10:13:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 16 12:44:22 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 12:44:22 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jun 27 08:03:27 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 08:03:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 15 10:46:05 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 10:46:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 26 16:51:48 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 16:51:48 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Apr 09 01:06:56 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 01:06:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 13 08:21:02 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 13 08:21:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 24 07:27:10 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 07:27:10 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 21 10:17:02 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 21 10:17:02 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Feb 20 22:15:34 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 22:15:34 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jan 27 05:19:46 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 05:19:46 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1776993
