More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the London Blitz, the story follows Richard Roe, an upper-class man serving in the Auxiliary Fire Service. His life is complicated by his relationship with Pye, a professional fireman linked to a traumatic past involving Roe's son. As the brigade endures mundane practice runs before the bombings, Roe grapples with the chaos of war and its impact on ordinary life. This edition restores the original vision of a work that was censored upon its initial release in 1943, offering a deeper exploration of its themes.
