Description: Photographer Lucy Cardwell has recently lost her troubled father, Tom. While sifting through his papers, she finds he'd been researching an uncle she never knew he'd had. She visits her father's childhood home, Carlyon Manor, and meets an old woman named with an extraordinary story to tell, about growing up in the 1930s; the families that will be swept up in the cataclysm of events that follow the dark cloud of war-- and how the ramifications reach down the generations.
