What to expect
Her duty is to keep smiling through…
When World War II breaks out, Suzanne’s dream of attending the Royal Academy of Music crumbles.
Determined to do her bit, she joins a swing band that entertains troops in some of the worst-hit cities of Europe.
Through singing, Suzanne finds a confidence she never knew she had, and she soon wins the admiration of Britain’s brave servicemen.
But her heart already belongs to a Navy officer who is serving out at sea. The question is… will they meet again?
A gripping tale of love, courage and camaraderie, perfect for fans of Nancy Revell, Donna Douglas and Vera Lynn.
