1940, Britain. Anna is a fifteen-year-old girl whom no one would recognize as a German refugee, and her brother Max is one of Cambridge's best students. Anna's family escaped mortal danger in France, but war catches up with them in London. Bombings, fear, nightmares, and on top of that - immigrant poverty, hardship, and unexpected oppression from the English authorities. All Anna can offer against the difficulties that have befallen her are youth, talent, and a thirst for happiness. But is that enough?
