Books, Manuscripts
Set in a Lincolnshire village during and just after World War One, this book follows a group of teenagers as they set out on life's adventures and leave their sheltered childhood behind, to find their way in a new and changing world. Rural life does not protect them from harsh reality, whether it finds them in the Trenches or on an Indian tea plantation. Dolly is the centre of the group and we see all the young lives reflected against her struggle to find herself and her future. There is also a darker thread running through the book, which threatens their happiness and security, as times change and adjustments must be made for a new post-war era.
