Description

In 1944, thousands of American soldiers occupied North Devon's beaches. As they prepared to move on, Emily found herself in a different kind of limbo. A newly qualified teacher, she had witnessed the devastating bombing of her school and was struggling to cope with the aftermath. Seeking convalescence at her aunt and uncle's farm, Emily soon discovered that life in wartime was far from easy. The local community was facing its own challenges, with farmers struggling to produce food for the nation and Land Army girls taking on new roles to make up for the shortage of labour. It was here that Emily met a mysterious woman who played the violin alongside her, and another who practiced medicine in a remote coastal cottage. As they navigated their lives amidst the uncertainty of war, both women found solace in music and friendship. For those who have experienced loss and trauma, this story offers a powerful exploration of how people come to terms with their emotions and find a way forward.
