The Butterfly – Anna Barrie 417 of 750 (Uncorrected Proof Copy)

Description

The Butterfly by Anna Barrie is an evocative historical romance set in post-World War II England. When Leo Chantry is freed from a German prisoner-of-war camp, he returns to a life irrevocably changed. His beloved family home, Molliston, an ageing Elizabethan manor, is crumbling under the weight of dwindling family fortunes. Desperate to save his ancestral home from ruin, Leo faces an impossible choice: to secure Molliston’s future, he must marry a woman of wealth.

As Leo navigates the emotionally charged landscape of love, duty, and survival, The Butterfly beautifully captures the tensions between personal happiness and social expectation in a country recovering from war. Anna Barrie’s richly detailed narrative brings post-war England vividly to life, exploring the sacrifices and ambitions of a generation caught between tradition and change.
