Walnut Shell Days

Victoria Cameron's grandfather revealed to her the secret of the "walnut shell days" - those joyful hours to be stored away and opened in darker, colder times. For Victoria, enchanted by handsome Robert Fotheringham, life seems to overflow with walnut shell days, until her grandfather's death and the outbreak of the Great War end those precious times. Victoria is forced into working at a Dundee jute mill while Robert languishes in the trenches and, as tragedy strikes one summer's day, throwing a dark shadow over all their lives, Victoria wonders if the walnut shell days will ever return...
