The gripping story of an Edwardian hero who fights for the glory of his country on the Western Front – only to have his world torn apart.
From Tim Brooks, author of the critically acclaimed cricket novel The Batmaker of Copenhagen.
Set across Oxford, Cornwall, the Western Front and the Aegean, this sweeping historical drama:
? Follows the journey of a cricketing prodigy with the world at his feet, who leaves university to defend all he holds dear – only to find himself in the ranks of the lost generation in the war to end all wars
? Paints a vivid portrait of Edwardian high society and the golden age of cricket – an era abruptly ended by an inhuman war that changed England forever
? Offers thrilling depictions of the early battles of the First World War, as the allies swung from near-defeat to counter-attack, to the stalemate of trench warfare
? Recreates Oxford before the war, at the peak of Edwardian culture and creativity
? Gives an idyllic portrayal of life in Corfu and the importance of cricket to the island’s history and culture
A poignant tale of love, loss and salvation, The Englishman is a must-read for all cricket-lovers and fans of historical fiction.
