Often regarded as merely the creator of sentimental images of mothers and children or an expatriate heavily influenced by Impressionism, Mary Cassatt is not typically regarded as an artist of radical convictions. This text re-evaluates these dismissals and presents a complete overview of her mural.

Summary

When her father dies suddenly, everything changes for Lizzie Bishop. She turns for comfort to kindly Ben Kite, and soon, full of romantic dreams, she marries him and starts a family. What she does not seem to realise is that two former rivals for her affection are still secretly in love with her. Neither soldier Stanley Dando, her enigmatic second cousin, nor dairyman Jesse Clancey, the likeable and handsome son of a prosperous neighbour, has ever been able to get Lizzie out of his mind.
Then Ben, with the noblest of intentions, makes the worst mistake of his life - he enlists in the Army and goes off to fight in the trenches in France. Soon everyone is caught up in the consequences and Lizzie's life is changed forever...
'It's about time a man wrote romantic fiction - Michael Taylor does it superbly.' Edwina Currie
