In the wake of the Allies' victory in North Africa, 1,000 Italian soldiers have been sent to a remote island off the Scottish coast to wait out the war. Their arrival has divided the island's community. Nerves frayed from the constant threat of invasion, many locals fear the enemy prisoners.
But to orphaned sisters Dorothy and Constance, these see sick, wounded men are in need of care. As they volunteer to nurse them, Dorothy finds herself immediately drawn to Cesare, a young man unaccustomed to the bracing Orkney winter, and broken by the horrors of battle.
As the war drags on, tensions between the islanders and the outsiders deepen, and Dorothy's connection to Cesare threatens her community and family bonds. Now she and her sister are each forced to weigh duty against desire . . .
