A man in his mid eighties is preparing to leave his home for the last time. As he waits alone for a delayed taxi he reflects on his life, particularly his time as a British soldier on the Western Front, the Somme and Passchendaele during the Great War. This experience defined and shaped the whole of his life.

Set early in the century, a man takes early retirement and watches, dispassionately, as his life slowly disintegrates. Man meets woman and life begins to improve, though not without complication. Funny, witty and tragic by turns, random consequences presents a subversive, contemporary love story.

recurring echoes, a narrative of war relates the story of four young English school friends during the Second World War. Serving respectively as a member of the Commandos, the Royal Navy Coastal Forces, an engineering student and an RAF fighter pilot, their individual experiences of the war in Europe between 1940 and 1945 is viscerally described. As death is measured in millions, the war consumes their youth, extracting a price they will endure for the remainder of their lives.To us, the outcome of the Second World War is history: to them, it was not.
