Description
TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME ... The final four volumes in Steve Hayes's remarkable semi-autobiographical record of a world at war, seen through the eyes of a young boy. Eric starts Grammar School ... and enters a whole new world, where his social status and relative poverty mark him out as a target for the richer boys. Closer to home, he unwittingly alienates his next-door neighbour Jennifer, and his best pal, Douglas. And Roger, whose heart murmur has rendered him unfit for active service, reaches a decision that isn't only life-changing ... but could cost him that very life, if it all goes wrong ... Meanwhile, Eric's sister, Elaine, meets Glenn Huston, an American serving in a British tank regiment. Despite the best efforts of his doctors, however, patriarch Carl continues to waste away in hospital.
