The Art of a Butterfly: An emotional love story set in the 1930s told from all sides

The Art of a Butterfly is based on a true love story set in the years after the First World War involving an emotional love triangle which is told from all sides. Lawrence Armitage, the debonair, charismatic manager of a renowned department store in Yorkshire, falls in love with shy Constance Crawford, a young woman recovering from a terrible trauma resulting in the loss of her hair. Lawrence only has eyes for his wife and has far more integrity than he’s given credit for. His colleague, Daphne Farrington, knows this, having been in love with him for sixteen years. She secretly pined for him when he was called away during the war, only to watch him meet and marry Constance on his return. When Constance suspects she may lose everything, she resolves to rebuild her confidence. However, just when life should be brighter for the couple, their troubles begin. The story observes a marriage through the years and explores how life has a way of changing us through time and circumstance. If Constance and Lawrence are to find their happy ever after they must learn to fall in love with a stranger … if they possibly can. The Art of a Butterfly is the latest in Jo Priestley’s Women of Old Yorkshire collection of historical romantic novels, featuring authentic women engaged in emotional journeys of self-discovery about love in all its many forms. —- ISBN: 9798328028943
