In London in 1938, the news of the war launched by Germany was, for young Britons, a mere echo, just another topic of conversation. Just two years later, however, no one is talking about anything else. While her two best friends join the army, Vera aspires to swap her current job at the Telegraph for that of war correspondent. But when she realises that they won't allow her to do so because she is a woman, she doesn't hesitate to go on board as a nurse to experience combat at close quarters... Even if it means witnessing the death of the man she loves.

A moving story of overcoming, bravery, friendship and passion during the war that confronted the whole of Europe, truncating the destinies of an entire generation.
