Description
A WOEMEN. A WAR. THE CHILD WHO CHANGED EVERYTHING.
December 1940. As German bombs fall on Southampton, England, the city’s residents flee to the surrounding villages. In Upton village, amid the chaos, newly married Ellen Parr finds a girl asleep, unclaimed at the back of an empty bus. Little Pamela, it seems, is entirely alone.
Ellen has always believed she does not want children, but when she take Pamela into her home, the child cracks open the past Ellen thoughts she has escaped and the future she and her husband, Selwyn, had dreamed for themselves. As the war rages on, love grows where it was last expected, surprising them all. But with the end of the fighting comes the realisation that Pamela was never theirs to keep. Spanning the sweep of the twentieth century, WE MUST BE BRAVE explores the fierce love that we feel for our children and the power of that love to endure. Beyond distance, beyond time, beyond life itself.
