Product Description

World-renowned war artist Dame Laura Knight is commissioned to paint propaganda portraits of factory girls & is sent to the ordnance factories in her hometown of Nottingham.

At first she relishes the opportunity for a nostalgia trip, but when she starts work on a portrait of two particular women, violet Smith, & her co-worker Zelah Fitzlord, memories begin to resurface that she has spent half a lifetime trying to forget.

violet is an industrial conscript, & her wages help support a sprawling family back home in Kent. But working in munitions also meant freedom from a small-town mentality, & the disappointment of a first love turned sour.

For Zelah, too, working in the gun factory meant escape: her dreams of the future were dashed in the carnage of the Plymouth Blitz, & she found refuge in the numbing repetition of manual work.
