A motherless waif, a feral childhood, running wild with her siblings by the sea on their Dorset estate, claiming a beached whale as their own, while their lives are those of stories, plays and theatre dreams. But the play acting becomes real in war time France when brother and sister enlist in the SOE. In post war Dorset all is changed and swept away apart from those theatrical dreams. A promising first novel and enjoyable holiday read which never flags.
