Publisher's Synopsis
It's 1914 and Lady Alexandra Baldwyn is stifled by her claustrophobic life of privilege at Somerton Hall. Desperate to be more than a debutante, she strives for excitement like her brother Charles and his best friend, Freddie Chevalier. She pleads with her parents to let her become a nurse in France, but when her father refuses to sign the papers allowing her to leave the country she must be content with driving ambulances in London and delivering the occasional supply lorry along the south coast. What she has yet to learn is that there is little glory in war. Spanning the 1914-18 war, 'Broken Faces' is the story of four friends and their fight for survival. It is ultimately a story of how love can triumph over adversity in the most unexpected of ways.
