Other Times

Book Overview

At the start of the war in 1939 James Bevan is a junior officer approaching middle-age attached to a small anti-aircraft unit on the south coast.

Abandoned by his wife the soldiers he command are his family: Bairnsfather whose sexual encounters with his girl friend Muriel take place in an air-raid shelter; Cartwright trying to keep two women on his gunner's pay of a shilling a day; Hignet cosily educating himself in the orderly room. It is a rude awakening when they are called upon for the real war.

Hugely absorbing rich and rewarding Other Times brims with history and experience love sorrow and humour.
