Sparrows of Sycamore Road
As the Blitz ravages London in 1940, Nancy Sparrow decides to leave the job she loves in a West End dress shop and volunteer for war work. She becomes a porter at Paddington station and is immediately thrust into a chaotic environment where air raids cause havoc to passengers desperate to get home. Meanwhile Nancy's brothers are facing troubles of their own: Mickey loses his nerve in action at the front line and little Leslie suffers as an evacuee. But it is their mother, Lily, who shocks them all when she announces she is pregnant, and her husband, away fighting, is not the father.
