From the master of historical fiction, this book follows war hero Daniel Pitt and his unforgettable family after the Second World War. Some bonds are hard to break, but Daniel Pitt's marriage has fractured beyond repair, and his 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. 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.

For more adventures with flying ace Daniel Pitt, see "The Dust That Falls From Dreams" and "So Much Life Left Over."
