Nineteen Twenty-One

It is the freakishly hot, drought summer of 1921; dust storms in London, parched and cracking earth, autumn tints in July. Holed up in a cottage in the Chilterns, a young writer strives to write the first great novel of the War, impelled by his own suffering. Outward events and inner crises deflect him from his purpose, and love intervenes in the form of two very different women. A visit to the hallucinatory wreckage of post-war Flanders brings strange repercussions in its wake.Thorpe, Adam is the author of 'Nineteen Twenty-One', published 2001 under ISBN 9780224052825 and ISBN 0224052829.
