Summer ReadThe village of Alvesdon has been home to the Castells
for generations. But the year is 1939 and the peace and
tranquillity there is about to be shattered once more by the
stormclouds of war in Europe. As three generations of the family
gather, they must all face the prospect of their lives being
transformed beyond recognition the moment Britain declares war on
Germany.When the inevitable happens and Britain finds itself at
war, the younger members of the family and farm workers are called

their way of life can never really be the same again…
