β¦ Synopsis
- Seventeen-year-old Dorothea Miller is given the responsibility of managing the family farm when her father and brother are conscripted, leaving her with only her distant mother and the unfamiliar Land Girls for company.
Angeline Carter and her four younger brothers are evacuated to the Welsh countryside to escape the bombings; the Miller farm is nothing like theyβve seen before and certainly more than Angeline bargained for when she meets the surly, unwelcoming farmerβs daughter.
Despite their rocky start, misunderstandings and tragedies, Dorothea and Angeline realise that their friendship may run deeper than either of them had prepared for.
