Young lovers Olive and Derek are parted almost before they have found each other; long-married Frank and Jess are changed and divided by a common danger; children like Wendy and Alan are evacuated to the country, not knowing when or to what they will return...

April Grove plays out its joys, sorrows and friendships against the most dramatic of backdrops - one of England's greatest seaports arming for war - in a wonderful story of poignancy, nostalgia and charm.
