The thrilling second book of the Edith Berry trilogy. This book follows Edith and the league of nations in the days before, during, after world war 2 and finally the end of the league of nations.

Edith goes through a lot of character growth and as a reader you can really see her evolve from the young confident (sometimes brash) woman who first arrived in Geneva to a woman with much more worldly experience. A woman who contemplates her past attitudes and where they stand with her present self.
I also found it interesting to learn about Australia back in this era and how far it has evolved.
