About this title

Synopsis

Anglefield Road is a novel fearless in the scale of its ambition, as the lives of four families are changed and in some cases overturned by a dispute over a group of small, barren islands at the bottom of the world. It is a heartrending, also at times surprisingly amusing, story of the horrors of war-at home and abroad-and, finally, of a long delayed reunion that takes place in the most surprising of circumstances.
