Summer Blossom

Madeline Thorpe-Laurent spends her summer days wandering through the gardens of her family home. Cherry blossom kisses the bright English sky, the world flourishes through the months in peace and she longs for an escape to a life of dancing, romance and danger. August breaks throughout the world, soldiers are called upon from around the allied countries, and a reminiscent family holiday is slowly pulled apart by the outbreak of World War Two. Madeline's life becomes what she always wished it would; an exciting and surreal escape from reality, but the discovery of the distance between herself and her loved ones is vast.
