AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Set in the second half of World War II, this novel tells the story of two members of an Irish-Australian family. Reardon is a rear gunner in a bomber, flying missions over Germany and fighting his conscience over the indiscriminate bombing of German cities. Perpetua, his sister, is a nun in a Sydney convent, suffering her own form of self-doubt. (Source: LibrariesAustralia)
