It’s the 1930’s in Cornwall, England,
Judith Dunbar is attending a boarding school for girls while her parents and
younger sister are living in Singapore. For school holidays and breaks, Judith stays with her
Aunt Louise until she is killed in a car accident. The family of her best friend, Loveday Carey Lewis, rescue
her and take her into their home. At the start of this film they are in the calm before the storm of WWII which later causes the
loss of family members and friends.
I found this very enjoyable, the
characters are relatable and you follow along with their lives from 1930 to
1945 in their happiness and in pain. I didn't want this to end. 4*
