The year is 1915, and the war is raging on . . . The war was not
'over by Christmas' after all and as 1915 begins, the Hunters begin
to settle into wartime life. Diana, the eldest Hunter daughter,
sees her fiance off to the Front but doesn't expect such coldness
from her future mother-in-law. David's battalion is almost ready to
be sent to the Front, but how will Beattie's fragile peace of mind
endure? Below stairs, Ethel, the under housemaid, is tired of
having her beaux go off to war so she deliberately sets her sights
on a man who works on the railway, believing he won't be allowed to
volunteer. Eric turns out to be decent, honest and he genuinely
cares about Ethel - is this the man who could give her a new life?
The Hunters, their servants and their neighbours soon realise that
war is not just for the soldiers, but it's for everyone to win, and
every new atrocity that is reported bolsters British determination:
this is a war that must be won at all costs. Keep the Home Fires
Burning is the second book in the War at Home series by Cynthia
Harrod-Eagles, author of the much-loved Morland Dynasty novels. Set
against the real events of 1915, this is an evocative, authentic
and wonderfully depicted drama featuring the Hunter family and
their servants.
