Till The Boys Come Home

In 1918 the Great War has taken so much from so many and it threatens to take even more still from the Hunters, their friends and their servants. In a bid to run away from problems at home, Edward decides not to resist conscription and ends up at the Front. Sadie's hopes for love are unrequited, and Laura has to flee Artemis House when it is shelled and finds herself in London driving an ambulance. Ethel, the nursery maid, masks her own pain by caring for other people's children but she must take care not to get too attached.
