The story is very short and takes place during World War II.
- The Setup: A young British soldier and his new bride get to meet for what they think will be a normal, happy military leave in London.
- The Conflict: Their plans are ruined when the soldier's military leave is suddenly canceled. He gets orders that he must ship out immediately to join his brothers-in-arms overseas.
- The Climax: Instead of a long honeymoon, the newlyweds are forced to spend their very last night together in a London hotel room.
- The Core Theme: The book focuses deeply on the heartbreak, intense love, and sadness of a couple trying to pack a lifetime of love and goodbyes into just a few short hours before being separated by war.
