A Very British Affair
Synopsis
In the heart of an English village, life goes on as the shadow of war falls across the land. At Halfpenny Stores, the local shop that is the beating heart of the community, friendships are forged, secrets are kept, and lives are changed forever.
"Heartwarming, heartbreaking, and quietly heroic" — this is a story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, of love found in the most unexpected places, and of a community that refuses to be broken.
