Inhaltsangabe
A sweeping wartime tale told through a reflective, first‑person voice. The book weaves personal memory, family history, and sharp social observation into a fictional memoir set against a country in crisis.
Across chapters of memory, the narrator recalls a father’s quiet life as a rector, a sister’s engagement, and a time when public ideals clashed with daily life. The narrative moves from schooldays to the pressures of adulthood, and it probes the gaps between what people profess and how they behave when danger arrives. The setting blends intimate domestic details with large questions about faith, duty, and national progress.
- Rich, character‑driven scenes that illuminate a society at a turning point
- Attention to family bonds, class, and the moral tensions of everyday life
- Vivid depictions of wartime events and the human cost of conflict
- Thoughtful commentary on leadership, tolerance, and national identity
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction that pairs personal memory with social critique and wartime drama.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an autobiography of an early 20th-century British journalist, beginning with the author's university years at the tail end of the Victorian era and ending at the outset of World War I. Exploring the social and political milieu of the time through the lens of his own experiences, the author paints a vivid picture of his society's preoccupations. His personal and professional life introduces the reader to the complexities of the British class system, particularly the struggle to maintain standards of living in the face of economic and technological change. His political reflections include his participation in suffrage activism and his opposition to imperialism. The author further examines the growing gap between rich and poor, increasing unemployment, inadequate housing and the societal disregard for human life that was symbolized by the Boer War. This book provides a rich tapestry of life in the United Kingdom at the turn of the century as well as a deep dive into the class and political divisions of the time.
