Beneath the Willow

<p>During the European summer of 1916 the horror of war spreads its tentacles to grip a working-class family in Balmain New South Wales. The war has ended and Clarence Miller carries wounds that cannot be seen. He returns home to a loving wife and infant son but his life will never be the same again.</p><p>Together they seek a fresh start in the country but memories of his trauma near the Northern French village of Fromelles still imprison him. Tragedy strikes and casts a heavy shadow over ensuing generations of the Miller family. A voice from the past and a resolute young woman may be the family’s only chance of finding peace.</p><p>- - - - </p><p><strong><em>“Murphy captures the brutal reality of conflict entering the minds of soldiers faced with the unthinkable. His attention to detail regarding historical and military events is faultless.” </em> – Gary McKay Author & Historian</strong></p><p> </p>
