Book ID/图书代码： 11701215B84526
English Summary/英文概要： World War II has just broken out and 18-year old Mary North unhesitatingly volunteers to do her part for the war effort. Intelligent and resourceful she rather hopes she’ll be employed as a spy, but instead she finds herself posted as a teacher in a local primary school. She soon forms a bond with the only black pupil in her school, Zachary, but almost immediately has to oversee the children’s evacuation to the countryside. Unwanted by any foster families Zachary returns to London dejected. Mary takes it upon herself to open her own school to continue to educate undesirable children like him.
Mary soon meets Tom, a school inspector living in a garret flat with his best friend Alistair, who, to Tom’s horror has just signed up to the Army. Thrown together by the war Mary and Tom quickly fall in love, while many miles away Alistair undergoes training and sees combat that will change him forever. When Alistair finally comes home on leave and meets Mary, however, it soon becomes clear that he will be a disruptive influence…
EVERYONE BRAVE IS FORGIVEN spans the Blitz-ripped streets of London, where fires rage through the night and where safe social and political protocols are being torn up, to the besieged island of Malta, where blistering dust clouds keep men hunkered underground as they wait for the next relief boat. In this multi-layered, majestic but also humanely microscopic novel, Chris Cleave shines his unique and empathetic light on a world we thought we knew so well, but from which we can still learn so much.
