I’ve been working my way happily through your “None Stood Taller” series.
Being totally honest, I must say your writing really makes me feel like I’m actually there in 1940s wartime England.
I’ve read many WWII fiction books but none have taken me into that time zone more than yours.
Thank you for your stories of Middlebourne and the brave women who helped win the war.
However there is a passage in Taller book 3 that has really gripped me.
It’s spoken by Dotty but obviously by yourself. It’s so profound and true it hit me like a thunderbolt..
‘Ours is knowledge that everyone should carry in their hearts. Humankind’s greatest tragedy is that the collective wisdom of the ages dies with each generation. Until the next time’.
So so true. Why can’t people learn from history?
Keep up the great work Peter. I really feel like I’m back in WWII with your magnificent writing.
It’s like a time travel cloak that I wrap around myself to really feel the things that people in the 1940s felt.
Superb writing that is more than just a book. It’s a time travel visceral experience.
Cheers. Tony.
My heartfelt thanks to Tony for such a moving review, Peter
