1919 - the Great War is over. But shell-shocked Harry Oliver, MC carries it with him wherever he goes...This novel, set in the chalk downland of southern England in the immediate aftermath of the war, explores themes of courage, the physical and psychological wounds of war; healing, love and redemption. Filled with period detail, an evocative sense of time and place, and rising suspense, this is more than a love story - it is a work of deeply compassionate insight and feeling. You will put it down at the end with regret that it is over, caring about the characters like dear friends. Praise for the writing of Alison James from Colin Dexter, author of the Inspector Morse series: 'You write like an angel, a tender angel; and I was much moved by your poignant, beautifully written book.'
