The Colonel's Daughter

A poignant and emotional love story set in the 1950s and 1960s

In the 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 bitter-sweet perspective a decade later in 1964. Their unique voices chart the anguish, tragedy and despair, as their lives are led apart...
