Alice Duer Miller’s narrative poem follows Susan Dunne, an American visitor whose love for an Englishman draws her into the life of his country. What begins with the excitement of travel and romance becomes a much deeper attachment as marriage, family and the First World War alter her understanding of belonging. Through personal memories and conversations, Susan weighs the differences between her American origins and the English world she has made her home. The approach of another war brings the fate of her son and the values she hopes to preserve into urgent focus. Written during the Second World War, The White Cliffs combines an intimate family story with a tribute to England, exploring loyalty through the grief, affection and choices of an individual life.
