historical romance

Bill Boyd details the "greatest generation's" coming of age through the story of one man's trials and tribulations in the name of love and glory. We follow the journey of Bill Talbot who struggles to reconcile the demands of family obligation with his own need for personal fulfillment. His transformative experiences in the cauldron of WWII have great personal meaning and a more profound impact when considered as a metaphor for the struggle and growth of a generation. His journey of love and glory will appeal to both the historically and romantically inclined and effortlessly intertwines both of these themes in a manner which will appeal to readers of all backgrounds.
