Morgan Perincall's marriage is already disintegrating when her
husband volunteers for service in France. Dazed by his desertion,
she sends their children west to safety, and leaves London for the
dubious sanctuary of her childhood home, the Villa Rouge. Situated
on the East coast, it is vulnerable to German attack. Caught
between the open hostility of her father's housekeeper and the
suffocating affection of Charlie, who for all his enthusiasm is not
fit for service, Morgan's days are brightened by the arrival of an
R.A.F. squadron - a chance to relive the romances of her wilder
youth. But the fall of Dunkirk brings a sobering taste of defeat,
and the Battle of Britain soon sees the once-carefree pilots
fighting for their lives, their country. With danger drawing ever
closer, and the secrets of her past beginning to unravel, Morgan
discovers that sometimes the best intentions can leave the darkest
legacies.
