Description
A beautifully crafted novel about the complex relationship between a mother and son, set against the backdrop of war and social change. Patrick Gale's novel tells the story of a young man growing up in the shadow of one war and the whispers of the next.
Against the vibrant setting of 1914 Teignmouth, a young couple, Laura and her husband, meet and start a family. But when his father returns home from the trenches, a damaged man, their lives are forever changed. As a new war looms, their son Charles signs up for the navy, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and love.
This moving novel is a touching, utterly convincing portrait of the nascent artist, illuminated by Gale's devilish wit and talent for social observation and character intricacies.
