Description
1920. The Great War is over.
Whilst working as a nurse, Clementine fell in love with a handsome Canadian doctor, but lost him amid the horrors of the Western Front. Now, she feels stifled by her middle class marriage and motherhood.
Vincent was badly disfigured in the war, losing his future and his prospects at the same time.
Drawn together by their shared experiences at the Front, he and Clementine begin a compulsive relationship, both magnetic and parasitic, and which can only end in disaster – for one of them.
