"Mr Sillitoe is an excellent writer." The Times. Leonard had fought on the Somme in the Great War. He thought he had done his bit and earned the right to a bit of peace - then the bombs started falling in the Second World War. He was forty-six and alone - and that was when he met Sophie, vivacious, loving and feckless, who was to transform his life. This is a remarkable story of obsession and blinkered love, and of one man's war - with himself as much as with the obvious enemy.
