the cold heart that had been frozen since her partner
died, is beginning to thaw. But the man she pines for is
betrothed to another. The net curtains on the well-to-do

their lovers' eyes.The confident and stunningly
beautiful East Ender, Dulcie, is left alone once more,

know that joy is short lived in the London of 1941. It's
a treacherous place, especially for the tender-hearted.
