This Tumult by Caroline Preston
In a gripping narrative that spans four generations and encompasses the battlefields of Syria and Egypt, the Australian outback, night sorties over Germany, English airfields and the horrors of a Sumatran prison camp, this is a harrowing story of hardship and heroism, based on an Irish familys experience.
‘Beautifully written, fast-paced … The ending was particularly poignant and uplifting’ – Jilly Cooper OBE ‘A story of heroism, it is beautifully told.’ – Sue Leonard, Irish Examiner ‘Preston’s moving tale … gives an affecting insight into the sacrifices and resilience of both men and women involved in the Second World War.’ – Louisa Carroll, The Sunday Times
