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.

As the celebratory atmosphere of VE day fades, many women are left wondering what the future holds.

Abridged by Doreen Estall.

Concluded by Fenella Woolgar.

Producer: Elizabeth Allard.

First broadcast on 91福利社 Radio 4 in May 2011.
