Summary: WW2: In London, Lily marries a Canadian soldier who goes off to war. She and her newborn daughter are invited to come and live with his family in Canada, where conditions are not as splendid as he had described. And nobody knows if and when he will return.
Review: One of those random choices from Netflix and it was a cute one. A little bit of drama, a little bit of romance, we journey with Lily from the uncertainty of wartime London to the uncertainty of the plains of Canada. I've decided that I really like Anna Friel. She's just adorable in everything I've seen her in. And "Betty" and "Sylvia" round out a great cast of women. If you like a bit of period romance, pick it up.
