A teenager with a crush on the son of a family retainer, frustrated by his impending relationship with her older sister, points the finger at him as the rapist of her cousin. She, and we, know he did not do it, and the lives of the three of them are changed as the Second World War turns the non-rapist into a soldier and the women into nurses.

Toffs meet in a country pile, swim, dine and talk in cut glass accents. Soldiers assemble on the beaches of Dunkirk, cars and buses drive about in wartime London. Some not very sexy sex (apart from the heavy breathing).
A View
