Goodbye Piccadilly
The book starts in the month before The First World war commences and centres around two families: The middle-class Hunters, and the upper-class Wrougtons. We are introduced to them and alongside are the large supporting cast of servants, friends, acquaintances and trades-people and others who make up life in a village in early 20th century England.
The village is just 20 miles from London, and whilst rural at heart, it has strong connections to the city through the railways and road links to trade and industry, and means both the Hunter and Wroughton families commute or visit: Mr Hunter senior is a well-respected bank manager, and has family in the Capital, whilst Earl and Countess Dene i.e. Lord and Lady Wroughtons, also have family there and are an "old" name known and part of Society.
As war comes events start to challenge and change their lives with soldiers being a normal sight and men (and boys) volunteering for service; after all the war will be over before Christmas.
The book ends at Christmas 1914, as the war continues and the community of Northcote village are doing their bit.

Performance
When Stella Simmons comes to the Devonshire village of Burracombe to start her teaching career, she is alone in the world. Orphaned as a child and brought up in a children's home, she was separated from her sister, Muriel, and has never been able to trace her. Stella is soon caught up in the life of the village, especially in the plans for celebrating the Festival of Britain. With the help of artist Luke Ferris, she tries to find Muriel. But Luke has his own troubles - notably the relationship he once had with Val Tozer, daughter of a local farmer.
