Shot down on his first mission, James is taken to a German POW camp. With James away, his young war bride Rose is free in a way she has never known --- until a furloughed soldier brings new choices. And then James’s sister, Enid, is bombed out of London. She loses her home and her lover in one tragic, impersonal act of war. Her only refuge is her brother’s --- Rose’s --- home. Each of these characters will find liberty amid war’s privations and discover confinements that come with peace.
