About this book
A romance shaped by the atmosphere of war, this novel follows its characters through love and trial in a world overtaken by conflict.
What it's about
That Which Hath Wings unfolds against the strains of wartime, tracing the fortunes of its central figures as personal hopes and attachments are tested by separation, danger and the demands of a nation at war. In the manner of the period's popular fiction, it weaves romance and moral drama into the larger tapestry of a society under pressure, its title drawn from the biblical warning that even secret things take flight.
Themes
Love and endurance under the weight of war are the book's driving concerns, along with sacrifice, constancy and the way great events reshape private lives. It reflects the emotions and anxieties of its own wartime moment.
Why it still matters
Fiction written in and about the era of the First World War preserves the feelings of a generation living through upheaval. Novels like this record how ordinary hopes were coloured by extraordinary times.
Who it's for
For readers of period romance and of fiction set in the shadow of war, and for those drawn to stories of love tested by history.
