DescriptionThe upheavals of World War II reverberated in the peace that followed, and many found a return to the old life more difficult than they had thought. Like Sam Richardson, who was determined to break free of the constraints of his background and leave Cumbria for the promised land of Australia. Reviews"1 'Alive with autobiographical energies and characters of flesh-and-blood immediacy... deeply humane and acutely truthful' - Peter Kemp, Sunday Times 2 '[A] perceptive, sparely-written novel... The trace of memory, Bragg shows us, is an enduring inheritance for each and every one of us.' - Lisa Jardine, The Times 3 'Full of a simple poetry that is deeply evocative... with a depth of affection that is genuinely moving. A Son of War is even better than The Soldier's Return.' - Carol Birch, Independent 4 'Shot through with blazing integrity and authenticity' - Val Hennessy, Daily Mail 5 'I can't think of a contemporary novel I've read this year that I like quite so much.' |
