In 1995, retired schoolmaster Edward Enderby has hidden his wartime life even from his family. The approach of the fiftieth anniversary of victory brings back memories of his service as a fighter pilot and of the friendships, love and betrayal that shaped the man he became.
Edward’s account moves from flying over Britain in 1941 to the siege of Malta and the partisan war in Italy. The present-day story asks whether a life built on silence can be repaired after half a century. War is shown not only through combat but through the grief and moral compromise carried into apparently peaceful lives.
