Summary
Vivian Sinclair is a hardworking young woman. With no parents, between running the dairy farm and looking after her confused twin Charles, it all comes down to her. The year is 1916 and the war rages on, on the continent. So far their lives have remained virtually untouched by the war until the rallying company rolls through town with the list of men's names destined for the war. When she hears her brother's name called she knows that if he goes off to war she'll never see him again. Ever since the deaths of her parents Charles has been deeply affected by the loss of them. He stopped talking in complete sentences and seemed in a perpetual state of childlike wonder. Vivian decides to take the place of her brother to save his life. She cuts of her hair, straps her chest and picks up her rifle. Her company is captained by Thomas Hiddleston and she admires him greatly, would gladly die for him. She soon begins to wonder if her feelings are just admiration or something more. Navigating her way through the Battle of the Somme becomes increasingly difficult as she tries not to show her true feelings or identity to her superior officer.
