Book
The Wonder of It All
First published 2023
At the Somme in 1916, James Falconer is separated from the authority and wealth of his London business and reduced, like the men around him, to a soldier waiting to cross the battlefield. Personal losses have left him indifferent to his own survival until injury returns him to a home front transformed by war.
James discovers that his commercial empire and family relationships have both suffered in his absence. An opportunity to reconcile with his estranged daughter Leonie forces him to confront the damage created by years of ambition and emotional withdrawal, and to decide whether rebuilding his life requires more than restoring the business.
