Three strangers from completely different backgrounds come together in wartime London, enduring one of the worst conflicts the world has ever known . . . It is 1944 and London is suffering some of the darkest days of wartime. The Blitz has devastated families and livelihoods, and people continually worry for the safety of their families. Teenagers Charlie Matters and Molly Wakefield come from very different backgrounds. Charlie has lost both of his parents and now he's in Bethnal Green living with his beloved grandmother. He lives life close to the edge and the day when he falls off is never far away. Molly, returns to her smart Chelsea home after five years in Norfolk as an evacuee to find that she may as well be an orphan and her father has secrets of his own. There's also something very intriguing about Covent Garden book shop owner, Ignatius Oliver, who also has secrets to hide when he befriends Molly and Charlie. But wartime and loss are great levelers and Charlie, Molly and Ignatius form a great friendship and gain inspiration from each other to carry on at a time when life does not seem to hold the future they'd wished for.
