Synopsis

Spoiler shield

During World War II, the organisation "The Women's Land Army" recruited women to work on British farms while the men were off to war. Three such "land girls" of different social backgrounds - quiet Stella, young hairdresser Prue, and Cambridge graduate Ag - become best friends in spite of their different backgrounds.

“The story of three young women and the events that would change their lives... The friendships that would stay with them forever... and the loves that would change their hearts.”
