Amazon - top 1000 reviewer.It is on historical record that, on the evening of October 13th 1939, six weeks after war had been declared on Hitler's Germany, Winston Churchill and Neville Chamberlain, fierce and implacable opponents for years over the appeasement issue, met together with their two wives, Clementine and Anne, for a private dinner at Admiralty House, and event which caused ripples throughout Westminster.Chamberlain was still Prime Minister, but had seen all his efforts to negotiate peace with Hitler shattered. Churchill had been recalled to the cabinet after ten years 'in the wilderness', his dire warnings of the Nazi threat vindicated.Lucy Armitage is an innocent baker's daughter from England's majestic Lake District. A shy, insecure teenager, she seems to be heading for an unremarkable future in an unremarkable family.However the onset of World War II changes everything.

Then, with training almost completed, and with war on Germany declared, she is by strange chance conscripted in emergency into the secretarial team at the Admiralty.
