For army nurse Arnoldina Feng a new war
means a New Continent; a Promotion; New Colleagues
and a New Husband in a very foreign billet.
Through death Charles Charmliss,
soil scientist and former naval spy turned Quaker,
has won youthful health and a responsible new
role he barely understands.
Feng and Charmliss fall in love
and bed as Man and Wife.
Each devoutly religious, they despise the adultery
of which they separately consider themselves guilty.
They just cannot help themselves.
