Meet the actress turned spy. From a musty church hall in Cambridge to glitzy nightclubs in Nazi-occupied Paris, Louise Wellesley stars on stage. Even cows are impressed when she parachutes into a French field at midnight dressed as a nun. Men bombard her with proposals; most indecent. As WW2 drags on, Louise, nicknamed Plum, joins ENSA - Every Night Something Awful - to entertain troops. She's bored and an offer from a handsome young Belgian sees Plum do the unthinkable. She survives death beneath the Eiffel Tower, and by hitching a
ride with the French Navy, stumbles upon her true love. D-Day looms with the promise of slaughter on the beaches of Normandy. Will her heart be shattered? People and pets perish. New challenges appear. New life is created and when one war ends, another begins. Can Plum survive and find happiness?
