Description
Amory has memories of her father returning on leave during the First World War. But his absences, both actual and emotional, are what she chiefly remembers. It is her photographer uncle Greville who supplies the emotional bond she needs and when he gives her a camera and some rudimentary lessons in photography, he unleashes a passion that will irrevocably shape her future. Amonry’s love and artistic expression will take her to the demi monde of Berlin of the late 1920s, to New York of the 1930s, to the Blackshirt riots in London and to France in the Second World War where she becomes one of the first women war photographers.
