Synopsis

Longlisted for the Booker Prize.

After the upheavals of the Second World War, the Richardson family - Sam, Ellen and their young son Joe - settle back to working-class life in the Cumbrian town of Wigton. Yet for them, as for so many, life will never be the same again.

As the old order begins to be challenged and new vistas open, Sam and Ellen forge their future together with differing needs and desires - and conflicting expectations of Joe, who grows up with his own demons to confront.

There is a calmness to the pace of A Son of War which relaxes the reader or listener. This is a quiet narrative, and an suspiciously autobiographical one - Bragg being a Wigton boy - but made all the more authentic by this fact.
