At the start of the war in 1939 James Bevan is a junior officer approaching middle-age, attached to a small anti-aircraft unit on the south coast., Abandoned by his wife, the soldiers he command are his family: Bairnsfather, whose sexual encounters with his girl friend Muriel take place in an air-raid shelter; Cartwright, trying to keep two women on his gunners pay of a shilling a day; Hignet, cosily educating himself in the orderly room. It is a rude awakening when they are called upon for the real war., Hugely absorbing, rich and rewarding, Other Times brims with history and experience, love, sorrow and humour., (Recorded from two sets of poor cassettes and turned into an acceptable quality audio. One of my favourite authors or it would not have been worth the effort. Still looking for a copy of The Dearest & The Best. Only copy I can find is on Amazon but costs a whopping 100 +. So if anyone can reseed Martin88s copy I would be most greatful.)
