Centinela de los sueños

London, 1939. The war has not yet broken out, but the city dawns day after day strewn with small corpses. Fear is spreading, and government advice to lead pets to eternal sleep is being heeded: thousands of dogs are euthanized. Soon come the simulated bombings and rationing, the escapes to the countryside of the wealthy classes, the speech of the stuttering king and the resistance plans of Prime Minister Winston Churchill; and also the conspiracies of the Duke of Windsor and his wife, Wallis Simpson, to return to the throne through a pact with Hitler... Meanwhile, life goes on. This is the story of Duncan, a heroic fox terrier, and his owner, Jimmy, the boy determined to save his dog from death. But also Maureen, a reporter for the Daily Mirror, and Scott, widower and father of young Jimmy. And many more. When the Battle of Britain breaks out, when the first bombs fall in the late summer of 1940, every life counts, and each one has a destiny to fulfill.
