About the Book
Heroism or cowardice? A stunning story of the First World War from a master storyteller
'Full of warmth as well as grief, conveying vividly how precious it is to be alive' Sunday Times
As young Thomas Peaceful looks back over his childhood from the battlefields of the First World War, his memories are full of family life deep in the countryside.
But the clock is ticking, and every moment Tommo spends remembering how things used to be, means another moment closer to something that will change his life for ever.
