Notes

On a small island off the south coast of France, Robert Hendricks, an English doctor who has seen the best and the worst the twentieth century had to offer, is forced to confront the events that made up his life. His search for sanity takes him back through the war in Italy in 1944, to a passionate love that seems to hold out hope, to the great days of idealistic work in the 1960s and finally, unforgettably, back into the trenches of the Western Front
