In 1918 the Great War has taken so much from so many and it threatens
to take even more still from the Hunters, their friends and their
servants.
Edward, in a bid to run away from problems at home, decides not to
resist conscription and ends up at the Front. Sadie's hopes for love are
unrequited, and Laura has to flee Artemis House when it is shelled and
she finds herself in London driving an ambulance. Ethel, the nursery
maid, masks her own pain by caring for other people's children but she
must take care not to get too attached.
The government has to bring in rationing, and manpower shortages means
the conscription age is extended. The Russians have fallen out of the
war and a series of terrifying all-out attacks drive the Allies back
almost to the Channel, and for the first time England faces the real
prospect of defeat. No one can see an end to the war and yet, a small
glimmer of hope remains . . .
When the Boys Come Home is the fifth book in the War at Home
series by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, author of the much-loved Morland
Dynasty novels. Set against the real events of 1918, at home and on the
front, this is a vivid and rich family drama featuring the Hunter family
and their servants.
