Guardian Bookshop Notes:
In 1918, a group of young boys await graduation, and fear they will have to leave home to fight. 'Elegant, languid and almost subversive. To read it is an experience that leaves one fully alert' "Sunday Times"
Publisher's description:
It is May 1918, war is sweeping Europe, and a group of boys await graduation in their near-deserted town. Drawn close by an unspoken fear of leaving home to fight, they retreat into a clandestine world of codes, hideaways and fierce invention - until one day a stranger enters their lives and their secret is exposed.
