Two people united by the war but separated by the social divide that stands between them.
Lily is from the East End of London, Edward is the Earl of Middlebourne.
They work together within SOE where their contribution towards the D-Day landings is enormous. However great their achievement, the chasm between them remains. Can Edward take that giant stride, will Lily declare her love? All the while the war dictates their future.
Her journey begins beneath the rubble of the Blitz. Reduced to the ragged clothes she stands in, her unbreakable spirit propels her on a journey. That journey leads to the very top of the British war time establishment, and to Edward.
Lily’s story is inspired by real characters and events. In particular a group of women who contributed so much towards Britain's wartime intelligence and SOE. Viewed through Lily’s eyes, the historic details of World War Two come to life in a way you haven't experienced before.
