    Summary: 
    "Inspired by the real-life experiences of his grandfather, J. R. R. Tolkien, during World War I, Simon Tolkien delivers a...novel rife with class tension, period detail, and stirring action, ranging from the sharply divided society of northern England to the trenches of the Somme."--
    Adam Raine is a boy cursed by misfortune. His mother is killed in a workers' protest march; his father, Daniel, takes a job in the coal mining town of Scarsdale, where Adam never quite fits in. Drawn into the life of the Scarsdale family, he makes an enemy of Sir John's son, Brice, who subjects Adam to a succession of petty cruelties. Adam finds consolation in the company of Miriam, the local parson's beautiful daughter; wins a scholarship to Oxford, and believes his life is finally coming together-- until the outbreak of war tears everything apart.
