Gabriel Graham’s estranged younger sister Cora arrives in Folkestone with trademark bluster and bravado on her way back to Devon where she lives with Catholic quarry-owner Hector.

Brimming with pride about her two sons fighting in Mesopotamia and the support she gives to a Red Cross base hospital in France, Cora is both an annoyance and an inspiration for the rest of her extended family.
