What's this all about?
One Spring in Picardy is a novel without heroes and without heroics. It is a story dominated by machines - the capricious, almost humanly malevolent biplanes the pilots are forced to fly.
Beautifully evoked, scrupulously researched to the last technical and historical detail, this is a book that re - creates for the reader another fragment of that hell we know as the First World War.
