The Power of the Dead (Pocket Classics S.) - Tapa blanda

It is 1926 and Phillip and Lucy are living at Skirr Farm, only too aware of the difficulties of industrial unrest and the agricultural depression. When Phillip manages to steal some time for writing, he finds himself again at the battlegrounds of the war. Will he ever be able to put it behind him?

In Volume 11 of A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight series, it is the summer of 1926 and Phillip and Lucy are now living at Skirr Farm. It is hard work, and Phillip's agricultural inexperience makes progress difficult, yet he finds respite from the mental torment of his novels in physical labor. Though only too aware of the difficulties caused by industrial unrest and the agricultural depression, he determines to make the farm a success. Family matters (the birth of another child and financial problems of his in-laws) cause him more unrest.
