For the Duration

Have you ever longed to escape? To leave behind a life that seems endlessly predictable? That stretches greyly into the future with little hope of colour and variety? Join Margaret as she optimistically leaves a secure job, a loving family as well as the isolation and conservationism of 1930s Australia to travel to England where she expects to find new friends, experiences and excitement. But... she hadn’t expected the trauma, deprivation and danger of war. Discover how she learns to adapt and serve her new home and friends in various areas. Unexpectedly Margaret finds happiness and fulfilment in her new home as she discovers that she needs to be with her loved ones.
