"1984" - Paperback

by John Oxenham (Author)

Set in the final days of peace before the outbreak of World War I, 1914 follows a London-based family whose members are drawn into the coming storm in ways they never anticipated. As alliances harden and news of ultimatums and mobilizations trickle in, tensions rise at home-between generations, between ideals, and between the call of love and the call to arms. Through the eyes of the Dares and their extended circle, this quietly dramatic novel captures the dawning realization of a world changing forever, blending domestic realism with the escalating gravity of history in motion.
