Susan Gardiner

Susan, though young, is Edward's "girl back home". She worries about Edward more than she will freely admit, but knows that she must also stay strong for him. It is this belief that carries her through after his injury. Before the start of the war she was working in a clothing store, to supplement the stipend she is sent from her parents. As she is from a "good Christian family", she and Edward do not sleep together until the night of the storm. NB Who ever is cast in this role must be comfortable singing a capella.
