By 1916, war has become the organising fact of life for the Hunters, their friends and their servants. Conscription reaches deeper into British society, Bobby earns his wings, and Laura seeks a more active role in the national effort. Diana finds an unexpected possibility of happiness, while Ethel's changing circumstances force her to reconsider the future she once imagined.

The Battle of the Somme casts its shadow across both the family and the country. Industrialised warfare, munitions work and mass mobilisation make the scale of the conflict impossible to ignore, even far from the trenches. The third War at Home novel combines family drama with the mounting human cost of 1916, when hopes of a short war have disappeared and loss touches almost every household.
