Beschreibung
The Mysteries of Pompey Hollow is to WWII and postwar times what Huckleberry Finn was to an earlier time. Think of a time
with no cell phones and internet - where the young had to rely on each other for entertainment and friendship. An endearing
story about small town life in the shadows of WWII. The novel captures life in the years following World War II before cell phones and the internet. It takes us back to a time when people looked out for one another; a time when small-town values still mattered. The novel does for those years what Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn did for an earlier time.
The novel is also a celebration of who we were back then. It's a joyous hayride, sometimes scary, sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious. It will cause you a lot of smiles and a few tears as the same year Pearl Harbor was attacked. When the war was over, after nearly 80 million lives were lost, the family moves to the country. Here our story begins. Life for the young in the shadows of WWII.
Named Books and Authors BOOK OF THE YEAR - Antil was named Writer of the Year by Syracuse University.
