This book is a graphic novel based on a letter from the author’s
grandfather to his fiancé outlining his experiences during WW2. The story is
raw and real; comradery, pride, loss, fear, discrimination, anger and self-destructive
behaviour are all represented alongside the undiminished love and longing for
his future bride. The author has included the original letter in its totality
as well as a number of photos of his grandfather and grandmother during their
war years. It is a surprisingly moving testament by the author to his
grandfather and the graphic art conveys the intended imagery very well. Recommended.
