Death of a dove

Gifford, Griselda, 1931-2019
Books
It's 1915, but Bea ignores the war between England and Germany and thinks more of her ambition to be an actress. She meets attractive Oberon (Ronnie) Rossiter and they fall in love. Then white feathers are sent to Bea's brother Alex, to her friend Tod and to Ronnie - calling them cowards - and they all enlist, facing death on the Front. Ronnie returns wounded and shell-shocked. Will Bea help him escape the Army and give up hopes of acting? This is the story of Bea's journey from peaceful countryside to Zeppelin-bombed London and how she realises the real horror of war but also, the power of love.
