Homeward Journey

More about the book

A young man, haunted by the death of his mother, tries to break free with a night on the town, and falls immediately in love with the first girl he meets. The novel, set between the two World Wars, charts the love affair and courtship of two people, David and Jessie, worlds apart in culture, upbringing, aspirations, attitudes and temperament. It was based from the start upon concealment and deception, laced with an innocence which left them unprotected.
