Much Too Pretty

by Mark Mattison

Two generations. Two wars. From aerial combat over occupied Europe in 1944 to a VA hospital in California at the close of the Vietnam War three decades later, two men struggle to understand each other's motivations. The result is a portrayal of civilian and military life in wartime England, contrasted with life in California in the sixties, and how two men were shaped by their experiences. Forty years of research has yielded the facts that provide a rich portrayal of life as it was thousands of miles and thirty years apart, woven together in a tapestry of human emotion and spanning the lifestyles ranging from the daughter of an English vicar's daughter to a post-psychedelic California medic's reality.
