Coventry

On the evening of November 14, 1940, Harriet Marsh stands on the roof of Coventry Cathedral and watches as the waves of German bombers approach. As firestorms sweep through the streets, Harriet flees alongside a young fire-watcher named Jeremy, who is searching for his mother, Maeve. Scenes of unspeakable devastation unfold around them: birds burn as they fly; historic buildings collapse; people are buried alive beneath the rubble. But as Harriet attempts to guide Jeremy through the burning city, she discovers in the midst of death a love she thought she had lost forever.
