Sent off to live with family in the English countryside, Daisy finds herself falling for one of her cousins, the sensitive, funny Edmund, but when World War II breaks out she and a female cousin are forcibly separated from the boys and trotted off to a military-type base of some sort – but she won’t accept that and, with her cousin, breaks out and heads for home.
Can young love survive the apocalypse? How I Live Now has its North American release later this fall.
