The First World War is over, and Private Daniel Branwell has returned to his native Cornwall. The boy was lucky to be alive, while his best friend Frederick met his death in a shell-shattered field.
But Branwell doesn't feel happy. While he was at war, his mother died and their house was taken for debt. No one cares about the former soldier, except the sick old woman Mary Pascoe, who shares food and shelter with him. And every night the ghost of his dead friend rises at the foot of his bed, depriving him of peace and aggravating the sense of guilt. And when old Mary also dies, Daniel is left alone with a world hostile to him, where it is easier to lie than to open up to people who have not experienced the horrors of war. "Silent" tragedy of the famous English writer Helen Dunmore - a saga of the human soul, a story that shocks with its merciless and sincere truth.
