The moving story of three Australian women across three wars and the damage done to the men they love.

In the winter of 1919, Lily and her three-year-old son, Ted, rush through the streets of Melbourne to welcome home Lily's husband, Bert, who has spent the last four years fighting with the Light Horse in the Middle East. Twenty-three years later, as the same city awaits a Japanese invasion, Frankie, a young WAAAF on a night's leave from the service, meets an airman, Ed, at a dance. Almost three decades on, as Melbourne convulses with anti-war protests, a single mother, Fran, prepares a funeral for her only son, a young conscript killed in Vietnam.

And in the Morning is a novel about war and the ways in which its tragedies, both great and small, transform the intimate lives of the mothers, wives and lovers who must live with its consequences.
