For a sensitive soul like Peter Godfrey, growing up is not going to be easy. On top of the normal pressures of school and of surviving in a big family with a small income, he has to cope with living in troubled times: the 1930s, world depression, the rise of Hitler and the looming prospect of war. Yet the turmoil in his young heart seems as great as that which he reads about in his father’s newspapers.As his south London childhood makes way for the beginnings of a career in the City, his unrest merely increases. Romantic by nature, he is not short of prospective lovers, but his shyness and strict conscience conflict with his desires. As a conscript preparing for war, away from home, he faces even greater temptation. Even if he resists and saves himself for a hoped-for perfect marriage on demob, will he be able to choose between the good-hearted but innocent Lucy, or the more glamorous dream-girl of his schooldays, the worldly-wise Kitty?In this second book by AJ Snitter to feature Peter Godfrey, hero of Voyage of the Virgin, discover his life before and immediately after his naval service, and share the anxieties of his would-be sweethearts while he is abroad. Set against the stormy background of the Second World War it is a novel of great tenderness and insight.
