SHORTLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE 2020
A tale of love sundered, a world cleaved in twain, and the promise of homecoming and redemption. Tim Pears delivers a masterful conclusion to his sweeping West Country Trilogy, weaving a tapestry of exquisite prose that will captivate readers to the very last page.
The year is 1916. Lottie Prideaux, a young woman of breeding, defies societal norms as she navigates the winding country lanes astride her motorcycle, pursuing her ambition to become a veterinarian. Across the vast expanse of ocean, Leo Sercombe finds himself far from the familiar comforts of home, toiling in the bowels of HMS Queen Mary as a coal hauler. In this harsh new reality, life and death engage in a constant, brutal dance.
As Leo and Lottie traverse this brave new world, they must contend with the ravages of war, the sting of loss, and the spectre of betrayal. These forces threaten to sever the delicate threads binding past, present, and future. In the face of such adversity, can even the most destined of returns - and the most ardently sought redemptions - come to fruition?
