Fantastic story spanning over 70 years of history. The story follows two friends Drum and Carter when they met during National Service in the 1950's. The men make a friendship and bond that will last a lifetime and become neighbours on a farm. The men both meet wifes and have children and the story followes their domestic lives. The bonds don't extend to their children and there are some tense moments. The story is beautifully written and spans a lifetime of changes between these two families. It also covers many social changes in England and reveals the different views of the family members as well as looking at the backgrounds and class of both these families. I found it a fascinating read and although it was a large book I was excited to keep flipping the pages and devouring the story. I look forward to reading more from this author and definately would recommend.
