The Years Between (play)
''The Years Between'' is a play by the English writer Daphne du Maurier, better known as a novelist and particularly as the author of ''Rebecca'' (which she had adapted for the London stage in 1940). This is one of two original plays that she wrote. The other is'' September Tide'' (1948).
==Plot outline==
Set against the backdrop of the Second World War, ''The Years Between'' unfolds in the library/living room of an English country house. The man of the house, Colonel Michael Wentworth, MP, is presumed dead after his plane crashed into the sea on a flight to Europe in 1942.
His wife Diana is persuaded to take over the Colonel's parliamentary seat, and she is supported in her endeavours by her neighbour Richard Llewellyn, a sympathetic farmer with whom she strikes up a romantic relationship. Llewellyn teaches the Wentworths' young son Robin how to fish, thus becoming his great friend.
Three years later, as the war is about to come to an end, the Colonel returns. He has been playing a key role in organising the resistance movement in Occupied Europe, and his disappearance and death were staged by the authorities to provide convincing cover for his activities. The remainder of the play deals with the fallout of Michael's return on the various protagonists.
