William Heinemann Ltd, Melbourne, London, Toronto - first edition, 1953. hardcover, 5" x 7½", with dust jacket. The lower price of this copy is due to the chipped, gapped and mildly soiled dust-jacket - some taped repaired on inside. GOOD book in FAIR unclipped dust jacket. At the end of the war a young primary school teacher in one of London's poorer areas falls in love with an officer. He is transferred to Germany, and subjected to the many temptations of servicemen in foreign countries, placing their relationship in a series of crises before reaching a state of complete devotion and understanding (hence this book's title).
