Produktbeschreibung

A powerful novel of a teenager who fights in the First World War, hoping to redeem himself after the death of his brother. Feeling responsible for the accidental death of his recently conscripted brother, fifteen-year-old Thomas Elkin takes on the identity of his dead sibling-and enters into the fray of the conflict. His burning ambition is to die a glorious death in his brother's name. Believing that in fully submitting to the reality of war he is atoning for his sins, he faces all the attendant horrors with a steel will and a poignant resignation. As the Great War rages, both personal conflict and global conflict raise questions of morality and mortality, guilt and faith-as this moving novel touches upon the existential crises faced on the battlefield by the men who fought.

Autorenporträt

Now retired, Roy E Stolworthy lives with his partner, Janice, of 25 years on the outskirts of Northampton. His parents, from the East End of London, were evacuated during the war. With an urge to see the world he signed up for a nine year regular engagement with RAF, quickly discovering a deep aversion to military discipline. An avid reader of anything close at hand, he always knew somewhere down deep inside of him he had a book waiting to be written. 'Coming Home' his first book, was shortlisted to the final 140 from 24,000 entries for the 2010 Brit Awards in London for unpublished fiction. His second book 'All In' a thriller is at the moment available as an e-book.
