It is 1939: the first shadows fall across Europe as two women, mother and daughter, sip their after-dinner drinks in a Georgian drawing room. Beth Mallory and her daughter, Lara, love and trust each other and the bond between them is strong. Beth is a widow and Lara's husband is fighting for King and Country. They appear not to keep secrets from each other, but events that happen on a stage far greater than their London house are about to rock their lives.
In Germany, Poland and in London itself, whilst history tells its old, old story of love and war, Beth's secret past unravels, revealing deeds done which she wishes undone, and acts of love which are to be paid for by the next generation.
Set in the dramatic days of the Second World War, this story takes us from the Blitz of London to the heartrending trials of the Warsaw Ghetto, showing the effects of a world war on the fortunes of a family that finds itself on opposing sides of the conflict that sets the world ablaze.
