Title: The rescue man
Description: Orphaned as a child and approaching forty with no prospect of a family of his own, Tom Baines is a man emotionally adrift. The outbreak of war brings a new sense of purpose and unexpected relationships. Yet in wartime ordinary rules are suspended, and Baines finds himself caught up in a love affair that is as all-consuming as it is transgressive.
