Summers of tennis parties and picnics with Olga follow - life could not get any better. Until a cruel blow is dealt in 1914- John is forced to return to England and Olga and her family are caught up in the bitter and bloody war.
Will John and Olga ever be reunited? Can their love survive the odds? Or will tragedy, pain and longing destroy them both?
