Soldier From The Wars Returning
England, 1937.
Caroline Horton is a penniless, young widow.
Though the family have been left destitute, Caroline struggles courageously to bring up her children, Nicolas and Victoria, in an atmosphere of love and warmth.
She is aided by Algernon, the rich owner of the travel firm for whom she works as courier.
Her son Nick, a serious boy, achieves his ambition of becoming a zoo-keeper, where his restless spirit seems satisfied.
But when he meets a young woman, Antonia, who shares his interests, his future is complicated as he discovers her past life holds much pain and many secrets.
Their path to happiness is not to be a smooth one…not least because of her mysterious past but because Europe is on the brink of war.
When war breaks out, Nicolas joins up.
On the beaches of Dunkirk a lifelong nightmare becomes reality in Soldier From The Wars Returning.
This classic novel is just as poignant today as it was when it was first published in 1942. The characters are sure to live with the readers long past the last page…
Jerrard Tickell was born in Dublin and educated in Tipperary and London. He joined the Royal Army Service Corps in 1940 and was commissioned in 1941, when he was appointed to the War Office. Between 1943 and 1945 his official duties took him to Africa, the Middle East, Washington DC, Canada, the West Indies and Europe. He was appointed to the General Staff in 1945. He was married to the author and spiritualist Renée Haynes, the daughter of E.S.P. Haynes and Oriana Huxley Waller (a granddaughter of Thomas Henry Huxley) and they had three sons: Crispin, Patrick, and Tom.
Tickell wrote 21 novels, including the bestselling Appointment with Venus (1951), which was made into a film of the same name starring David Niven and a 1962 Danish film Venus fra Vestø .
