In 1938, Harry Glass is a precocious eight-year-old Jewish boy born and raised in London. As, indeed, are almost all grown-ups-teachers, neighbours, everyone except his Aunt Lily. Unconstrained by obedience, he is as much the despair of his immigrant parents as they are a puzzle to him.
Just speaking can become a disaster as his schoolmates' cuss words roll innocently off his tongue at home. At times, he manages to appall even her. The mood there darkens, too, with the news from Europe.After the fall of France in 1940, Harry is evacuated to Wales and welcomed into a farm family by everyone except the daughter and a young Welsh nationalist farmhand.
But the war reaches into Wales, too, with the bombing of shipyards and chance raids. After being machine-gunned from the air while on a class picnic and later witnessing supposed perfidy, Harry suffers a breakdown and is hospitalised.
