1945. Following the tragic loss of her husband in action, MP's wife Diana Wentworth and her young son determinedly rebuild their life in rural home-counties England. As a single woman, Diana finds unexpected independence; she assumes her husband's seat in parliament and begins a relationship with a local farmer. As the war draws to an end and peace returns to the country, a shock revelation threatens Diana's new existence to the core. Autobiographically-inspired, The Years Between is one of only two original plays written by Daphne du Maurier, better known as a novelist and particularly as the author of Rebecca and Jamaica Inn.
