A Test to Destruction (1960) was the eighth entry in Henry
Williamson's fifteen-volume A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight
spanning the years from the late Victorian period to the Second
World War. It begins in the final year of the Great War. After the
harsh winter of 1917 everyone is nearing the limits of their
endurance. Hetty, temporarily relieved to have Phillip safely home,
hopes desperately that her son will not be posted to France again.
Phillip, however, is determined to go back, and adds his name to a
list of those available for service. After returning to the Front,
however, he is injured and sent on convalescent leave in the West
Country, where his post-war civilian life begins. 'Williamson's
style is romantic, though rarely sentimental, and his sensuous
response to nature is fresh and surprising.' Anthony Burgess,
