Edith Trewin, the general maid in the Killivant household, and Miss Alicia Killivant, the young lady of the house, come from vastly different social worlds, yet they share a common trait: a streak of independence and intelligence. Edith is imaginative and possesses a keen perception of the world around her. On the other hand, Alicia is vivacious and tired of being under her brother Edwin's control, responsible for managing the household and caring for their ailing mother.

When a kitchen maid mysteriously disappears shortly after arriving at the house, Edith and Alicia decide to embark on a search for her. However, their plans are disrupted when the world is plunged into the midst of a war. Despite their best efforts, the two women find themselves unable to escape its grip, even in the picturesque surroundings of Cornwall. Their paths diverge, and they are thrust into a war-torn world, where they experience the full spectrum of emotions: love, loss, and resilience.

As they navigate this new reality, Edith and Alicia must confront the challenges that come their way. They must rely on each other's strengths and support to unravel the truth behind the disappearance of the kitchen maid and navigate the treacherous waters of war. Will they be able to overcome their differences and work together to uncover the truth, or will their new lives get in the way?

This captivating tale of love and friendship is sure to captivate fans of Rosie Clarke and Anna Jacobs, who are known for their intricate storytelling and memorable characters. Prepare to be swept away by the twists and turns of this thrilling saga as Edith and Alicia strive to overcome the odds and find their way back to each other.
