Synopsis

"Beautifully written with an engaging cast of characters. I found this both enlightening and disturbing."

"Very impressive writing with an intellectual and educated edge. The more I ponder this book, the more I admire what it took to write it."

"The revving-up of hatred and ignorance was a unique and interesting way to present the war – with the media and the Church paving the way."

Life is becoming precarious for an Anglo-German family living in England on the eve of the First World War. They have very different ideas about what they should do.
A priestly father who promotes the duty of fighting for God, King and Country. A mother who flaunts her German heritage. A son full of Nietzsche, atheism and rebelliousness. What influence can each have over the talented daughter of the family, who has ideas of her own?
Irresponsible newspapers inventing stories of German atrocities and espionage stir up hatred against the family. Will pride and their strong personalities allow them to compromise and survive?
The Corncrake is a historical novel set in 1909-10 and 1914-15. It brings to life little-known facts about ordeals far from the front line.
