And a Nightingale Sang Synopsis
Set in working class Newcastle, the Stott family fight their private battles against the backdrop of the conflict of World War II.

In contrast, her younger sister Joyce has quite a way with men, and finds herself a little too popular with the troops, especially when her husband pops up on leave from his regiment.
