Overview
<p><b>FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF <i>REBECCA</i></b><br><br><b>'Daphne du Maurier told of Britain leaving the EU fifty years ago' LUCY SCHOLES, <i>THE TIMES</i><br><br>'The spirit of Britannia embodied' <i>SUNDAY TELEGRAPH</i></b><br><br><b>'She wrote exciting plots ... a writer of fearless originality' <i>GUARDIAN </i><br></b><br><i>'It is rather awful, Emma thought as she walked across the fields down to the farm, how this business is leading us all into subterfuge and deception, and we can't really tell who is friend and who is enemy ... '</i><br><br>Emma wakes up one morning to an apocalyptic world. The cosy existence she shares with her grandmother, a famous retired actress has been shattered: there's no telephone, no radio and an American warship sits in the harbour. England has withdrawn from the European Common Market and, on the brink of bankruptcy has decided that salvation lies in a union - political, military and economic - with the United States. Theoretically it is to be an equal partnership, but it soon begins to look like a takeover bid.<br><br>As the two women piece together clues about the 'friendly' military occupation on their doorstep; family, friends and neighbours come together to resist the interlopers.</p>
