Major Tom's War is a powerful account of the impact of WWI on a
doomed generation and on one Indian Army cavalry officer in
particular. Why is Bengal-born solicitor Tom Westmacott desperate
to flee Calcutta in 1914? And why does Evie Winnington-Ingram, who
has good cause to hate him, agree to his proposal of marriage?
Their dark, shared past initially drives them apart. War forces
them to face up to a harrowing present before they emerge,
together, into an unexpected future. The author spins a unique tale
of authentic experiences from her family's archive full of
memorable characters: her grandfather Tom, the proud and damaged
cavalry officer; his nurse and reluctant bride, Evie; Tom's vicious
nemesis, Lochdubh; Amar Singh, the steadfast leader of the Sikhs;
Tom's protector, Harnam Singh; the reckless yet terrified young
lieutenant, Reggie Durand; Gaston Derome, the hero mayor of Bavay,
a French town clinging to survival under the heel of the invader;
and four unforgettable horses.
