With speculation of a second front, one woman is transferred to a woodwork shop to make gliders. Read by Fenella Woolgar.

Virginia Nicholson's evocative account of the Second World War is told through a multitude of individual women's experiences.

As their stories unfold we discover how they loved, suffered, laughed, grieved and dared.
