Description
A vivid wartime saga of colour and authenticity capturing both the harshness and the warmth of life during the dark days of the Second World War.
Dan Hodges is devastated when his wife Nora dies during the early days of the war. Working long hours in a Portsmouth shipyard, how is he to look after his two sons, Gordon and Sammy? Then Gordon, something of a tearaway, is sent to an approved school, which leaves young Sammy alone in the house until neighbours in April Grove intervene and Sammy is evacuated to Bridge End, a village near Southampton.
Ruth Purslow, a young childless widow, takes him in, her compassion aroused by his plight. Slowly, as they grow closer, Ruth begins to dread the time when Sammy must return to Portsmouth...
A vivid wartime saga of colour and authenticity capturing both the harshness and the warmth of life during the dark days of the Second World War.
