THE HOUSE AT CHORLTON

In postwar Gloucestershire, Laura Oliver falls in love with Giovanni, an Italian ex-prisoner-of-war, now a humble cook. The couple flee her father's wrath to London. Facing destitution, only their love for one another and their dream of opening a restaurant business keeps them going. From Cotswolds farmland to London fish markets, this is a tale of prejudice, ambition and one couple's struggle to overcome all obstacles and carve out a life of their own.

But Laura has been keeping an explosive secret about Tom's parentage that means his reappearance in her life is bittersweet.
