Publisher Description
Miner's son David Powlett-Jones returns from the carnage of the Western Front in 1918, shell-shocked and bitterly hardened by the violence of war. He begins life again as a master at a remote Devon school, controlling the destiny of boys barely his junior.
As the years pass David becomes a teacher of rare talent, begins to find peace, and is able to adjust to the changes which are overwhelming society. But soon he will have to face up to the prospect of another terrible war...
Customer Reviews
Masterfully written!
In fairness, I've read this book fifty times, easily. It never fails to move me. The writing is filled with the pathos of the inter war years and represents, beautifully, what must have been the thoughts of those who faced such dreadful struggles through the period.
Laced with tragedy, humour, insight into the human condition and love this is one of the best books you will ever read!
It's a shame Mr Delderfield cannot be told how much he moved me!
