Overview

England, 1939. As the shadow of war stretches across Europe, life in the quiet village of Flackwell Heath is about to change forever. When evacuees arrive from London, the Summerfields open their cottage to two frightened children - and find their world suddenly intertwined with that of the Goldmans, a Jewish family facing heartbreak and upheaval in the East End. For young Esther Goldman, the countryside is both sanctuary and exile. For her brother David, high above the clouds in an RAF bomber, the war is a test of courage and love. And for little Thelma Summerfield, war begins as a game... until it touches her family in ways she can't yet imagine. As the nights grow darker and the sirens wail, each of them must find light in the blacked-out world around them - and hope where none should survive. Inspired by real memories and true events, The Blackout Garden is a powerful, heart-stirring story of courage, friendship, and the quiet heroism of ordinary people in extraordinary times.
