Hester Christie, wife of Major Tim Christie, continues her diary with entries chronicling life in a military depot during the first year of WWII. From the bumptiousness of pre-Dunkirk popular British opinion, through the dark days of the Battle of Britain, Mrs. Tim carries on, although her husband's deployment with his battalion to France ends with him being MIA. How he makes his way back home, how they cope with the stress of daily existence in an embattled country, how they find reason for hope for the future, all told with a demure (but still telling) wit and humor.
