Publisher's Synopsis
Can any of us make a difference to the great events which determine our fate? La doubts it, but when she moves to Suffolk on the eve of the Second World War, she gets her chance to be more than a mere spectator. Her move has taken place in the aftermath of a failed marriage - now she hopes that rural life will offer her the opportunity to recover. A new friend encourages her to form an amateur orchestra, which includes musicians from the village as well as men from the airbase nearby. One of the people she recruits is Feliks, a handsome but enigmatic refugee from Poland, who can play the flute. And so a tender friendship begins to blossom.
