When her first love dies in the Great War, Eglantine Thorpe resigns herself to life as an unmarried teacher. She turns down a later proposal of marriage when she realises that she cannot sacrifice her independence. In WWII a great niece becomes the daughter she never had. This is the portrait of a woman whose struggles and sacrifices mirror the times she lives in.
