Effie has uprooted her life from London to keep her two little girls away from the bombing raids, and the sewing circle is a welcome distraction from her worries – about how to keep a roof over their heads and about her husband too, now serving in active duty overseas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the reason for Helen''s husband''s death comes to light, her world is turned upside down yet again.
