Rosie Alison's The Very Thought of You
A novel involving the lives of various British ppl during WWII--a child evacuated to a fancy old Yorkshire manor-turned-school; her mother, relishing freedom; the unhappily married couple who own the estate; and friends of the couple who work at the embassy in Warsaw (by far the most interesting characters--and it turns out they're real). Anyway, it starts off strong but bogs down badly in the second half, when it just turns depressing. B.
