Not So Quiet ...

Nell Smith is one of England's 'Splendid Daughters', women abroad doing their bit in WWI. At 21, she pays for the privilege of driving an ambulance to ferry the wounded between the front line and hospital.

Facing constant shellfire, half frozen, fed on slop, and enduring the lashing tongue of commandant 'Mrs Bitch', Nell and her sister drivers entertain no illusions about the war - unlike friends and family back home. Only their comradeship and letters from lovers sustains them.

As the war grinds on, the lottery of who lives creeps closer to Nell herself. A naive girl volunteered for this. But who is this woman nightly driving blind through hell itself?
