Day by Al Kennedy
Before Hitler and the bombs, Alfred Day was a boy in Staffordshire, helpless to defend his mother, to resist his abusive father. The RAF gave him order, skills, another family and a way to be a man. In 1949, Alfred winds back time to see where he lost himself. He picks his way through the cliches that become all that's left of his war.
