Frustrated by life as a privileged young lady, Evie longs to play a greater part in the conflict and as Thomas struggles with the unimaginable realities of war, he also faces personal battles back home where War Office regulations on press reporting cause trouble at his father's newspaper business. Through their letters, Evie and Thomas share their greatest hopes and fears. Christmas 1968. With failing health, Thomas returns to Paris, determined to lay to rest the ghosts of his past.
