Aprašymas
1941, Giggleswick: Flora Whittaker runs The Cunning Vixen Inn, a small pub in the centre of the village. When her husband, Bill, re-enlists in the war, he leaves Flora to run the pub with the help of young May, the next-door neighbour's daughter.
Flora has several money-saving and illegal schemes running, and when young May starts courting local policeman PC Whinray, he seems to show interest in Flora's illegal activities.
Trying to alleviate their money troubles, Flora decides to let her room to Matt Walker, who is here on behalf of the War Office to oversee the smooth transfer of Italian POWs into Settle. Flora finds out that Matt's mother was once the landlady of The Cunning Vixen and they become good friends, even though her mother and the rest of the town do not welcome Matt's presence.
Meanwhile, Bill hears from sources about Matt's stay and begins to get suspicious.
Matt has a big secret, and he is about to share it with his host. Will it shatter her world, or will it bring her and her mother closer together?
The original, heartfelt novel from Diane Allen, A Village Scandal, is a captivating and heartfelt historical saga set in World War Two about family, secrets and bravery.
