Summary

With the death of her first love in the Great War, independent-minded Eglantine Thorpe decides to devote herself to school teaching. Rejecting a proposal of marriage, she weathers the storms ahead alone, until young Nell enters her life. Bright, fearless, and outspoken, Nell becomes the daughter Eglantine never had.

One of my favourite books, but ...

wish it didn't refer to Britain as English. Excellent story spanning two wars full of historical facts.
