The First World War ended, and Private Daniel Branwell returned to his native Cornwall. The guy was lucky - he survived, while his best friend Frederick met his death on the field linked by shells.
But Brandel does not feel happy. While he fought, his mother died, and their house was taken for debts. Nobody cares about the former soldier, except for the sick old woman Mary Pasco, who shares food and shelter with him. And every night the ghost of the deceased friend stands at the feet of his bed, depriving rest and aggravating guilt.
And when the old woman Mary also dies, Daniel is left alone with a world hostile to him, where it is easier to lie than to open to people who have not experienced the horrors of war.
"Quiet" tragedy of the famous English writer Helen Danmore - this is a saga of the human soul, a story shocking its merciless and sincere truth
