Krátky popis
Louis de Bernieres is the master of historical fiction which makes
you both laugh and cry. This book follows an unforgettable family
after the Second World War.Daniel Pitt was an RAF fighter in the
First World War and an espionage agent for the SOE in the Second.
Now the conflicts he faces are closer to home. Daniel's marriage
has fractured beyond repair and Daniel's relationship with his son,
Bertie, has been a failure since Bertie was a small boy.But after
his brother Archie's death, Daniel is keen for new perspectives. He
first travels to Peshawar to bury Archie in the place he loved
best, and then finds himself in Canada, avoiding his family and
friends back in England. But some bonds are hard to break.Daniel
and Bertie's different experiences of war, although devastating,
also bring with them the opportunity for the two to reconnect. If
only they can find a way to move on from the past. Louis de
Bernieres' new novel is a moving account of an extraordinary life
in extraordinary times. Daniel is a flawed but captivating hero,
and this coming-of-old-age story illuminates both the effect of two
World Wars on a generation and the irrepressible spirit and love
that can connect people despite great obstacles.
