Maeve offers a completely different perspective.  An only child of wealthy parents, Maeve has a child out of wedlock, and instead of opting for a respectful existence, she takes to the road with her baby boy, Jeremy, in tow, living a roving life.  Weeks prior to the bombing, they’ve arrived in Coventry; Jeremy has taken a job in a factory.  Maeve is along for love and support.

She decides to go to the pub to kill some time, while Jeremy takes his turn, walking the roof of Coventry Cathedral, watching for German planes.  While he’s up there, he meets Harriet.  It’s a beautiful night, full of brilliant light, casting what’s known as a ‘bomber’s moon’.  Harriet sees something approaching.   There is a flash of light and all hell breaks loose.
