Description

The Englishman is the gripping story of an Edwardian hero who fights for the glory of his country on the Western Front - only to have his world torn apart. Set across Oxford, Cornwall, the Western Front and the Aegean, the book follows the fate of a cricketing prodigy with the world at his feet who leaves university to defend all he holds dear - only to find himself in the ranks of the lost generation in the war to end all wars. Can he find salvation and fulfil his destiny in the new world that emerges from the ashes of the old? In this moving tale of love, loss and redemption, Tim Brooks paints an evocative portrait of Edwardian high society and the golden age of cricket - an era abruptly ended by an inhuman war that changed England forever.
