This triple biography of three English prodigies - Christopher Wood, Richard Hillary and Jeremy Wolfenden, who all died young and who were all unnervingly dynamic and driven by frenzied self-confidence - diligently sets each tragedy in its historical place and time to show how the feelings of a generation came to be projected upon their tragedy . . .
Faulks brings to these portraits the exquisite detail which made 'Birdsong' so evocative. The spare narrative hides a commitment to his subject which pulls you in and leaves you gasping for those lost lives.
