About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The tale of female camaraderie and bravery from beloved saga author Rosie Meddon.

When one woman's attempt to help the war effort from her sleepy Devon village is thwarted, she is determined to fight back!

September 1940: When Isabel Thaxley becomes homeless and heartbroken following a London air raid, she calls on her old friend Julia Nance for help. Julia runs a guesthouse in faraway Slipscombe, Devon, and Isabel hopes that sleepy village life is exactly what she needs to start again.
In need of new purpose, Isabel is keen to support the war effort. When she learns that women are not allowed to join the Local Defence Volunteers, she sets up her own organization.
But with opposition on all sides, can she unite these isolated women against the common enemy?
