Excellent condition

June 1941, Isle of Dogs, London

In the dark days following the Blitz, happiness visits young Pearl Jenkins as she celebrates her marriage to Jim Nesbitt. But what should be a joyful occasion is marred when a fight breaks out between Jim and Ricky Winters, an unwelcome visitor from Pearl's past, and to Pearl's horror, the new beau of her wayward younger sister Ruby.

Increasingly uneasy at staying home while other men fight for their country, Jim enlists, leaving Pearl at home - alone, pregnant, and at Ricky's mercy. Together, Pearl and Ruby must bring up baby Cynthia while struggling to make ends meet and survive the bombings.

And all the time, Pearl must hide the dark secret she harbours, one that would ruin her marriage and tear the two sisters apart...

When tragedy strikes both on the home front and in the trenches, will Pearl fight like never before to keep her family safe?
