Sam, a corporal in the British army, returns from the war in Burma to his home town of Wigton. He hasn't seen his wife and son for five years. The book tells the story of his homecoming and subsequent struggle to settle back into his marriage and old life. This is a brilliant book, which brings alive what many must have experienced during the aftermath of the war.
