Wiltshire, December 1915. Olivia Hanbury is widowed and has been persuaded<br/>by her cousin Donald to move in with his meek little wife while he is serving in<br/>France. When he's wounded, he returns home to convalesce. Tensions rise<br/>between him and lively Olivia. Her friend Babs involves her in starting the new<br/>Women's Institutes and introduces her to Alex, an antiques dealer. Meanwhile,<br/>Phoebe Latimer is holding the fort at Greyladies, an ancient manor house, while<br/>her husband is away at war. But someone is attempting to rid Greyladies of the<br/>German internees based there. Their nasty tricks put Phoebe's life and that of<br/>her unborn child at risk. A chance meeting brings Olivia to Greyladies, and she<br/>feels as though she's finally come home. Alex joins her there. Will these three<br/>help one another through these troubled times? Or will violent men destroy<br/>Greyladies and all it stands for?<br/>
