The Homecoming

It is 1946, and with the war at last at an end the younger members of the Adams family, parted for the duration, begin to come home. Boots is reunited with Polly and their twins, his son Tim returns to the welcoming arms of brave Felicity, and Bobby and Helene, their dangerous work in occupied France at an end, arrive home at last.

Chinese Lady can resume her role as the matriarch of an ever-growing clan. But grandson Daniel is still serving in an army unit out in Palestine, where his life is in considerable danger, and his American fiancée Patsy counts the days until his return.

While the new Labour government struggles with the problems of a country drained by the war, Sammy pursues his business interests with post-war energy and unfailing optimism. Many new family members - small babies, sweethearts, husbands and wives - join in as the whole Adams family comes together as never before to celebrate peacetime.
