description: As the Second World War draws to a close, two sets of sisters start at the Chalet School. The Herberts—Bess, Madge, Nan and Ruth—have never been to school before but are eager for the experience. The second group of sisters, Len, Con and Margot, have grown up in the shadow of the school and know exactly what to do, but still encounter some bumps along the way. The sisters make good friends at the school, but the Herberts gradually become aware of an undercurrent of ill-feeling, very unlike the usual Chalet school atmosphere. At the end of a long war, and with painful losses, some girls are not willing to accept the spirit of the Chalet School's Peace League and start committing petty acts of spite to make their feelings known. As the troubles deepen, the Herberts and their friends, the staff, prefects and of course Joey all contribute to help the school understand the real meaning of sisterhood.
