1918 dawns desolate over the fields of Flanders. Decimated by the
worst war the world has ever seen, neither British nor German troops
can break the deadlock of the trenches. After four years of murderous
stalemate, peace seems buried for ever. But finally, one by one, the
guns fall silent... By the Green of the Spring relives the last
terrible months of the Great War and the uneasy, exhausted peace which
followed it. From the North-West Frontier to the war in France and the
civil war in Ireland, John Masters follows the fortunes of four Kent
families – the Cates, the Rownlands, the Strattons and the Gorses
– through the cataclysm that ended the golden Edwardian dream for
ever. By the Green of the Spring, first published in 1981, is the
third, self-contained volume of the Loss of Eden trilogy, a
magnificent conclusion to an enthralling epic of war and peace by a
major contemporary novelist.
