Summary

Five days in November, 1920: as the body of the Unknown Soldier makes its way home from the fields of Northern France, three women are overcoming loss in their own way: Hettie, who dances for sixpence a waltz at the Hammersmith Palais ; wealthy Evelyn, who toils at a lowly job in the pensions office, and Ada, a housewife who snatches glimpses of her dead son in the street. As each struggles to move on with her life, a wartime mystery begins to unravel. But where will the threads lead, and will they bring the answers these women crave?
