As the 1950s draw to a close, and the Cold War escalates, the shape of Drummond Moore's life is changed beyond measure when he strikes up an unlikely friendship with James Carter, a rich and well-connected fellow national serviceman. Carter leads him to Doom Town – an army base that seeks to recreate the effects of a nuclear war – where he meets Gwen, a barmaid with whom he shares an instant connection.
Set over sixty years of British history, The Blind Light by Stuart Evers is the compelling story of one family as they deal with the personal and political fallout of their times.
I like the 1950s setting and the use of important historical events of the time that formed the backdrop of a complicated and emotional family story. This was great novel to get my teeth into and devour. Stuart Evers captures contemporary and near-contemporary issues in such an intimate and emotional way that you'll be sorry when the book ends.
