When Sam Richardson returns in 1946 from the 'Forgotten War' in Burma to Wigton in Cumbria, he finds the town little changed. But the war has changed him, broadening his horizons as well as leaving him with traumatic memories. In addition, his six-year-old son now barely remembers him, and his wife has gained a sense of independence from her wartime jobs. As all three strive to adjust, the bonds of loyalty and love are stretched to breaking point in this taut, and profoundly moving novel.

Recenzii

Outstandingly good...Must be one of the best English novels of the last ten years. It rings true; its characters matter...utterly credible, utterly compelling, and very enjoyable
[He] writes with tremendous empathy...One of the tautest and fiercest of Bragg's fictions
Sympathetic, touching, infinitely believable...a highly accomplished novel
Strong, straightforward, explicit, evocative
A great achievement
Reads like Lawrence...Feels like the book Bragg was born to write
His study of a relationship between man and wife in difficulties is brilliantly convincing...A passionately moving novel
His masterpiece
