Invalided out of the War and seeking solitude, Wing-Commander Richard Blunt joins a flow of evacuees leaving bombed cities and towns for the relative safety of the Lake District. He forms a bond with the brave and vulnerable Corys de Bainriggs, navigating her identity as owner of the family estate, balancing the complexities of that role with her profound connection to the land. Local author E. M. Ward evokes the Lakeland geography and culture with beautiful precision and authenticity.
