When we first meet her, at the beginning of Ursula Orange's delightful novel of the early days of World War II, married Caroline is contemplating an affair with an actor. But then war intervenes, and Caroline and her young daughter evacuate to the quiet village of Chesterford to stay with school-friend Constance Smith.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe two women couldn't be more different. Warm-hearted, generous Constance surprises the local billeting officer with her delight at welcoming evacuees into her home. But she has also made a catastrophic marriage to salesman Alfred. As they weather the storm of blackouts, shelters, and village drama, it's ultimately the women's differences that allow them to bring out the best in each other and let peace (of a sort) reign again.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTom Tiddler's Ground\u003c\/em\u003e is a rollicking, irresistible tale of troubles on the Home Front.
