TRENCH KISS

by Smith, Arthur

Jim and Sally are on holiday in Flanders, fulfilling not only Jim’s obsession with the First World War but his search for the fate of his grandfather, who went missing in battle. While Jim is off looking at gravestones, a startled Sally is suddenly confronted by Jasper Everly, a soldier who by a quirk of fate has been flung forward in time from the Great War and 1916 to the present day. Falling for his charm and apparent innocence, Sally elbows Jim and brings Jasper back to London, where he begins a hilarious roller-coaster ride through the late 20th century in this endearing comedy of relationships, historical perspectives and `progress’. Available in a volume with An Evening with Gary Lineker.
