Garbutt’s Dairy (English Edition)

When her brother enlists at the outbreak of WW1, Esme knows that she will be left to cope with her overly-dramatic and lazy mother alone. Her young man, Norman, finds her mother a job as secretary to a retired sea Captain, giving Esme hope that she can now lead her own life, but her mother thwarts her at every turn. Life gets even worse when Norman enlists and Esme receives word that he is 'missing in action'. With the help of her employers at Garbutt's Dairy, Esme struggles on, doing her best to help other women whose husbands and sons have gone off to war. Life is hard for everyone but her mother is determined to make Esme's life as difficult as possible. Will Norman return and will Esme ever be free of her mother?
