In 1918 the Great War has taken so much from so many and it
threatens to take even more still from the Hunters, their friends
and their servants. Edward, in a bid to run away from problems at
home, decides not to resist conscription and ends up at the Front.
Sadie's hopes for love are unrequited, and Laura has to flee
Artemis House when it is shelled and she finds herself in London
driving an ambulance. Ethel, the nursery maid, masks her own pain
by caring for other people's children but she must take care not to
get too attached. The government has to bring in rationing, and
manpower shortages means the conscription age is extended. The
Russians have fallen out of the war and a series of terrifying
all-out attacks drive the Allies back almost to the Channel, and
for the first time England faces the real prospect of defeat. No
one can see an end to the war and yet, a small glimmer of hope
remains . . . When the Boys Come Home is the fifth book in the War
at Home series by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, author of the much-loved
Morland Dynasty novels. Set against the real events of 1918, at
home and on the front, this is a vivid and rich family drama
featuring the Hunter family and their servants.
