The Long White Cloud - Kingsley Poole
The year is 1917. Many years have passed since Doctor John Hunston left England to escape the pain of losing his brother in the Boer War. Now there is a new war, one into which Hunston is reluctantly drawn. But before he leaves for Europe as part of the New Zealand Medical Corps, an old family secret is uncovered, resulting in a request he feels duty-bound to honour. In the trenches and carnage of the Western Front, he encounters a place where a promise - though easily made - is hard to keep.
Kingsley Poole was born in 1969, the son of Australian parents, and was educated at Magdalen College School and St John’s College, Oxford. While at Oxford he rowed in ‘The Boat Race’ against Cambridge for three successive years. His rowing career was ended by becoming a doctor and raising a family, and since 2003 he has worked as a GP in West Sussex. The Long White Cloud is his second novel and sequel to his first, The Sudden Metropolis, also available through Brigand.
