From the dark woods of Whitechapel to the genteel luxury of Finsbury Square, from the hop fields of Kent to the bloody fields of Ypres, Beryl Kingston's compulsive novel captures the atmosphere and spirit of a forgotten age. Ellen Murphy was born to a world of rotting slums and starving children. Determined to escape from poverty and from fear of her drunken Irish father, she takes a job as a shopgirl on Shoreditch High Street and there she meets David Chiefitz. But it is only when David is drawn into the Great War do they realise how precious thier love is and by then it may be too late.
