The book is set in July 1940, as 11-year-old Lydia walking through a village in rural Suffolk on a baking hot day.

“She is wearing a gas mask.

“The shops and houses are empty, windows boarded up and sandbags green with mildew, the village seemingly deserted.

“Leaving it behind, she strikes off down a country lane through the salt marshes to a large Edwardian house – the house she grew up in.

“Lydia finds it empty too, the windows covered in black-out blinds.

“Her family is gone.”
