1940 in a London tearoom, Mary, an ex-nun, meets Joe, survivor of the Great War: cue romance. As Italy sides with Germany and Churchill says, Collar the lot, Mary’s boss, Cesare, is forced aboard the ill-fated Arandora Star. Hearing of his torpedoed ship, his wife, Ida, waits while the people of Ireland’s wild west coast attempt a rescue.

 

A gripping tragicomic story of war. Unputdownable.
