On the Brink of Tears (The Brigandshaw Chronicles)

Can bitter enemies ever be friends?
Harry Brigandshaw is presumed dead, missing in the wilds of Africa. And Colonial Shipping is stolen.
Tina is miserable on Elephant Walk whilst the new generation of Brigandshaws and St Clairs are on the threshold of life. Young, carefree, full of excitement and eager for success. The Great War is behind them, the world is licking their wounds and a new future beckons.
But menacing undercurrents are permeating. There’s talk. The Fourth Estate spinning their stories. Scaremongering. Rumours. Hitler inciting hatred. His power seductive. Yet the Allies are grinding Germany into the dust but for how long? The Gestapo and the Brownshirts are lurking, raising national pride, waiting to strike.
And the youngsters in England are living the high life, trying to ignore the gossip. But how can they when all the signs are there for the inevitable?
It’s the calm before the storm! The world is on the brink of tears.
Set between the two great wars, On the Brink of Tears is the eagerly awaited fifth instalment of the Brigandshaw Chronicles by historical fiction author, Peter Rimmer.
