An absolutely heartbreaking and uplifting story of hardship and hope in the aftermath of World War I.
1922. After the horrors of the Great War, the close-knit Truscott family return to everyday life on their busy Hampshire farm.
But the two Truscott sisters are on very different paths. Kate is happily married to Albert, content to be a mother and farmer's wife. Her younger sister Dot sets her heart on becoming a teacher.
But an unforeseen tragedy means Dot must give up her place at college. Instead she resigns herself to becoming a lady's companion to wealthy Mrs Humboldt, who is a difficult woman to please.
Accompanying Mrs H. to Eastbourne, Dot enters an intoxicating new world of cocktails, circuses and dance halls, a life far removed from her quiet Hampshire village. And soon this na鴳e country girl catches the eye of a sophisticated seducer . . .
Dot must quickly learn the ways of the world if she is to forge her own path, on her own terms. But in her single-minded pursuit of her career, is she in danger of missing out on love altogether?
