Description
It's 1948 and Britain is struggling to recover from the Second World War. Marguerite Carter, half French, half English, has lost her parents and survived working for the SOE behind enemy lines.
Returning to England, she leaves her partisan lover and begins a new life as one of the first women to receive a degree from the University of Cambridge. With a mission to fight social injustice and educate her girls, Miss Carter sets out on a journey that spans decades and takes her through some of the most significant events of post-war Britain.
Through deep friendships and love lost and found, Sheila Hancock has created a powerful portrait of Britain through the life of one very singular woman, capturing the essence of a nation in transition.
