Cudzojazyčná / Anglická

It’s 1939 and Mary, a young socialite, is determined to shock her blueblood political family by volunteering for the war effort. She is assigned as a teacher to children who were evacuated from London and have been rejected by the countryside because they are infirm, mentally disabled, or—like Mary’s favorite student, Zachary—have colored skin.

Erdman's cool, incisive style heightens the effects in his new novel, topping The Crash of '79 and his other bestsellers.
