About this book

"Surrounded by the jubilation of Armistice Day, Valentine Wannop receives a telephone call which brings alarming news of her dear friend Christopher Tietjens. For whilst she strains to hear against the racket of celebratory firecrackers, Christopher's mind still exhoes with the bombardments and horrors he endured in the hell of the Front. With trepidation, harbouring deep concerns over his mental equilibrium, the pacifist Valentine must seek out Christopher once more - but what will come of their reunion?"--Publisher description.
