In a time of enormous political, economic and social change, a disparate group of young people embark on their lives, sensing great opportunities ahead. Their successes and failures will move and inspire the reader, bringing the atmosphere of a lost era back to life.
Drawing on thorough historical research, James Gervois creates authentic characters who guide the reader through a time of exhilaration and shock unprecedented in European history.
