Diana, the eldest Hunter daughter, sees her fiance off to the Front but doesn't expect such coldness from her future mother-in-law. David's battalion is almost ready to be sent to the Front, but how will Beattie's fragile peace of mind endure? Below stairs, Ethel, the under housemaid, is tired of having her beaux go off to war so she deliberately sets her sights on a man who works on the railway, believing he won't be allowed to volunteer. Eric turns out to be decent, honest and he genuinely cares about Ethel - is this the man who could give her a new life? The Hunters, their servants and their neighbors soon realize that war is not just for the soldiers, but it's for everyone to win, and every new atrocity that is reported bolsters British determination: this is a war that must be won at all costs. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 650 0 $a Domestic fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a England $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Fiction. 941 $a 12 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716013942.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804022247.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728012110.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518020339.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220129010149.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204081307.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110063225.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006091453.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418112228.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202093113.0 952 $l OCPA943 $d 20160107010954.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20151002011240.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8585DCFC60F111E59DE6DDEEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
