September 1919. Der 21jährige Tristan Sadler reist nach Norwich, um einige Briefe an Marian Bancroft zu überbringen. Tristan kämpfte im ersten Weltkrieg neben ihrem Bruder Will, bis sich dieser entschloss, den Kriegsdienst zu verweigern und daraufhin als Verräter erschossen wurde. Eine Tatsache, die für die Familie Scham und Ehrverlust bedeutet. Doch die Briefe sind nicht der einzige Grund für Tristans Reise, er verbirgt ein Geheimnis, welches er Marian mitteilen muss, wenn er nur den Mut aufbringt. Ein tief bewegender Roman des Autors von 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'.
