The colonel's daughter

In the early summer of 1954, young George West, qualified as an architect but completing his national service, meets 17 year old Josella Grace, daughter of a retired Colonel.

He falls passionately in love with this reserved but beautiful girl - a love that seems destined never to be fulfilled.

Their story, and its dark secrets, alternates between George's tale of first love in 1954 and Josella's bittersweet perspective, a decade later in 1964, of the difficulties of her relationships.

Their unique voices chart the anguish, tragedy and despair, as their lives are led apart, without hope of a happy reunion.
