ABOUT
THE BOOK

What is the fate of a just man in a just war? At the onset of World War II, Wayne Luthie is the leader of an inexperienced British flight squadron. While his crew adapts to war from a safe distance, Luthie ponders the delights and puzzles of his childhood in India and falls in love with Nim, a WAAF. But soon the war escalates, with great consequence. Tranquil memories are tinged with remembered violence; riddles are revealed as insidious secrets. In this extraordinary literary debut, reminiscent of Pat Barker`s best, Milena McGraw offers a novel of uncommon assurance and depth, a portrait of a man coming to terms with life during the Battle of Britain. It is an experience that will not be forgotten.
