War is not always about bullets and tanks. Sometimes it's about ration queues and Anderson shelters, rumour and gossip, fear and boredom. The Blitz in London and other major cities has been well covered in fiction but what about the front line? The South coast of England is separated from Mainland Europe by little more than twenty miles and townsfolk in Kent and Sussex were fully aware that, if Hitler was to take our nation's capital, he would have to steamroller his way through their homes first. In Book One of this wartime family saga we join the lives of Benjamin and Clarice Dace and their children in the coastal town of Worthing, in the last few years before the onset of World War Two. As the threat of war builds, husband and wife engage in their own small conflict, full of skirmishes and truces, victories and defeats. Their relationship is as tidal and as choppy as the narrow English Channel on their doorstep - a barrier which, for now, holds the enemy at bay.
