Description

The fifth and final installment in Cynthia Harrod-Eagles' War at Home series is set against the backdrop of 1918. As the Great War rages on, the Hunters and their servants face new challenges and hardships. Edward's decision not to resist conscription takes him to the Front, while Sadie's hopes for love are dashed and Laura finds herself in London driving an ambulance. The government introduces rationing, and manpower shortages lead to extended conscription ages. The Allies are pushed back almost to the Channel, and England faces the real prospect of defeat. Yet, a small glimmer of hope remains. This vivid family drama brings together the Hunter family and their servants as they navigate the turbulent times. Set against the real events of 1918, When the Boys Come Home is a powerful portrayal of life during wartime.
