by Rose Warner.
It’s 1939, and war is imminent. London schoolchildren are being evacuated to the countryside for safety, and their teachers are to accompany them.
Victoria McKaye, a young teacher from Canada, accompanies a group of pupils to a small Norfolk village. She is attracted to Louis, a dashing naval officer with relatives in the village — and he seems to like her too.
But when he draws her into secretly gathering information to help the war effort, she begins to wonder what side he’s working for.
