Description
London. As an ambitious scarf maker, Iris Braxton spends her days surrounded by colour and luxury not often seen during the dark days of war that were promised to be over by Christmas. She hasn't the time or interest in rakish soldiers, but Captain Rex Conrad is persistent - and before long his charm wins her over. But war is cruel, and Rex must leave once more for the Front. Iris begins stitching small messages into each of the scarves she makes in hopes that one will find a way into Rex's hands to let him know she's thinking of him. Maine. Geneviáeve Tremblay, a French-Canadian immigrant, enlists in the US Army Signal Corps to serve as a bilingual operator. Along the way, she meets a French officer who makes her question whether losing her identity is too heavy a price for acceptance. Belgium. Clara Janssens, a Flemish Nurse, and Roman Allaire, an Alsatian violinist, connect in a Brussels palace-turned-hospital far removed from their routine provincial and countryside lives. Their love of music lights the spark of romance, but the destruction of battle and the transient nature of their relationship threatens the bond between them.
