It is the summer of 1939, the residents of the Sussex fishing port of Bexham are preparing for war. Judy Melton, Meggie Gore-Stewart, Mathilda Eastcott, and Corrie Hogarth are determined to play an active part in the defence of their country. However, it is not just the young women who are determined to find new roles, so are their mothers.
Summer 1939 and the residents of the little Sussex fishing port are preparing for warBeautiful shy Judy, her feckless friend social butterfly Maggie, the seemingly demure Mathilda and tomboy Corrie are all determined to play an active part in the defence of their country as the closely sewn social fabric gradually unstitches as having been freed by war, the women now have to relinquish their independence..
