Funny and moving, wise and sad, this “imaginative tour de force” (The San Diego Union-Tribune) charts the intensity and courage found in a former World War II POW as he looks back on the closeness of death, from one of Britain’s most iconoclastic and highly acclaimed young writers.
Alfie Day, RAF airman and former World War II POW, never expected to survive the war. Now, five years later and more alone than ever, Alfie finds himself drawn to unearth those strange, passionate days by working as an extra on a POW film. What he will discover on the set about himself, his loves and the world around him will make the war itself look simple.
