Overview: The war’s over but for Alma and Jack the fight for love and freedom has only just begun
North Wales, 1918
The guns in Europe have fallen silent but for Alma peace brings only hardship in the Welsh seaside town she calls home. After welcome independence as a munitions’ worker, she is trapped by a painful arrangement with Bron, the man who saved her family from destitution. And for Jack, a Canadian soldier who fought for Britain, it means degradation in the overcrowded, feverish repatriation camp where thousands wait for the chance to sail home.
When Alma and Jack meet in the shanty town which serves the camp, they fall passionately in love – and their romance becomes the one chance of escape. But dreams are fragile. Bron wants Alma for himself. Ships across the Atlantic are delayed time and again, Spanish ‘flu spreads and the men – their sacrifice and bravery in the trenches ignored – are rebellious.
