Description
It's May 1940 and the fate of Britain hangs in the balance. As news spreads that the British Expeditionary Force is being evacuated from France, the town of Ramsgate prepares for the worst. But amidst the uncertainty, a young woman named Chrissie Sellick steps forward to make a difference.
Alongside her father, Chrissie sets out on their 30-foot motor yacht Blithe Spirit to ferry troops from the beaches onto waiting ships in Dunkirk harbour. As they navigate the treacherous waters, their story becomes intertwined with that of two ordinary soldiers - a dispatch rider and a Territorial - who find themselves bound together by chance as they make their way across France.
Over four days of relentless endeavour, Chrissie faces both triumphs and tragedies. Her sheltered life in Ramsgate is forever changed as she confronts the harsh realities of war. This gripping tale brings to life a pivotal moment in history, highlighting the bravery and sacrifice of those who played a crucial role in Britain's evacuation from Dunkirk.
