Intervals of Hope - Christopher Canniff

Detalii:

Nicholas Dixon lives with his mother and brother in London, England between the world wars. His father, Wilfrid, once with the First Battalion, First Canadian Regiment in the trenches of the Great War, now works in the coalmines of South Leeds and rarely returns to his family. Armed with his fathers wartime journal, a spirited imagination, and a taste for insurgency, Nicholas embarks on a quest to reunite the family. A journey that will forever alter his perception of his father, leading Nicholas to confront his own cowardice. Inspired by multiple interviews with a former WWII British Commando, whose father was in the trenches of WWI, and through eighty-five letters sent home during WWI by the authors great-grandfather, Intervals of Hope explores duty, responsibility, cowardice, abandonment, and the disparate paths to becoming a man of honour. Canniffs description is as powerful as any writer I have ever had in the Humber course. ---David Adams Richards, Governor Generals Literary Award winner and co-winner of the Giller Prize. The constant interplay between fathers journal and sons actions was brilliant. Full of human interest and emotion. Cant praise it enough. --- Gordon Schottlander, Veteran, British Infantry, Royal Berkshire Regiment, WWII
