Book description
1919, London's East End. Robert Hunter is eagerly awaiting the return
of his father from the war. Next door, Ruth Cooper's family are also
preparing to welcome her dad, whose ship was lost at Jutland. After five
years of separation and anxiety - and, for Bob, the worry of caring for
his frail mother - emotions are running high for both young people. But
Alf Hunter, who saw action in the trenches, returns a changed man, and
when he takes to drink, Bob must put his own happiness on hold to
support his family.
