| Description: |
Poverty and factory work have filled Lu Wilmott with a determination to widen her horizons.
The call to Spain, burdened by Civil War, is irresistible: she can be useful and live up to her ideals.
Signing up as a driver, Lu breaks the last link with her past and becomes Eve. Her work takes her close to those of many nationalities, but it is with Spain and its people that she falls in love. Here, worlds away from her former life, Eve encounters an old flame - but there is little room in her new life for romance.
In the crucible of war, a formidable woman of great strength is forged from the spirited, naive girl who left Portsmouth. |
