Belongs to SeriesA Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight (Book 13)
Volume thirteen of A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight . In September 1939, war with Germany casts its long shadow over the town and countryside. Phillip Maddison, now farming in East Anglia, still stubbornly believes that Hitler's chief aim is the defence of Europe against Stalin; but he is engaged in a personal war on the 'bad lands' where his farm is situated, trying to subdue mounting debts and to create a fertile yeoman holding for his family. The portrayal of his struggles, both with himself and with the land, carry total conviction, as does the picture of his life in England until the ending of the Battle of Britain.'This astonishing sequence. It is a major mark he is making on the modern novel.' Daily Express No library descriptions found. |
