Deeper, it is an uncannily perceptive exploration of male psychology… Pomeroy is a brave new voice capable of taking us beyond the clichés of war and its aftermath and into the secret heart of every man. This is simply the best novel I’ve read in a long time.”

A profound film that manages to confront us with the deepest sorrow while allowing us to be hopeful about what it means to be human.”
