War Story

When war breaks out in 1939, guns and fat barrage balloons invade Hyde Park. The Dulcimer grandchildren are sent into Sussex, and they find life at Dulcimer Hall as humdrum as ever -- with no excitements or worries about a German invasion, and no inkling at all of the dramas developing in the lives of the adults around them. Into their world comes Maggie Dunlop, a Scottish girl taken on as a nursery maid. Having escaped her violent father, soon she's thriving, adored by the children, well liked by both staff and family. Little does she know that her popularity is sowing dangerous seeds of jealousy, or that feelings of affection can grow into a deep yet impossible love.
