Vera Holme, known as Jack, left a career as a jobbing actress to become Emmeline Pankhurst's chauffeur. Evelina Haverfield was the daughter of a baron. They met in 1908, fell in love and became public faces of the suffragette movement. Their toughest trials came with the First World War, when they found themselves in Serbia, Russia, and Romania running hospitals for allied soldiers and driving ambulances under bombardment. This is a story of lifelong devotion, played out against a backdrop of intense danger, hair-raising adventure and unthinkable sacrifice.
