Book
By the Green of the Spring
The final volume of the Loss of Eden trilogy brings the Rowlands, Strattons and Gorses into the decisive year of 1918. The German spring offensives threaten to break the Allied armies, airmen fight an increasingly lethal war above the front, and families at home endure the accumulated losses and exhaustion of four years of conflict.
As the balance begins to turn and the Hundred Days Offensive drives towards the Armistice, survival does not restore the world that existed in 1914. Marriages, inheritance, class expectations and political attitudes have all been altered by war, and Masters closes the family saga by showing how victory carries its own grief and how the survivors must construct lives in a society transformed by sacrifice.
