Marjorie and her younger sister Dona leave home for Brackenfield College, a girls’ boarding school on a moorland cliff above the sea. Wartime touches everything: wounded soldiers from the Red Cross Hospital walk the lanes and the girls are fiercely loyal, while autographs, exeats, a talents tournament, a stolen meeting and a sensation in Dormitory No. 9 fill the terms.
