I was interested as Emily lived in Halifax West Yorkshire - having lived in Halifax and Heptonstall I was drawn to this. This book is set in the 30s - Emily has a very strict father and although she wants to marry Walter, as you guess the father is not consenting. He comes across as a nasty man but Emily in intent on her desire to get married and a war is looming. Emily and Walter set sail for a honeymoon in the United States. They are enjoying life together until they get caught up in Britain in WWII. Then the bombs start falling in Britain and the story is told by Emily and the female perspective of the war.
I found this a really interesting story of life in World War Two and I would recommend it.
