About this audiobook
It's 1947. George is going through the motions, sowing seeds and tending plants and harvesting crops. The nursery went on without him perfectly well during the war and he spends a lot of time during the working day hiding from people and working on his own. In the evening he prowls round the place looking for odd jobs to do.
It's been a long, cold winter and Peter doesn't think he'll ever get properly warm or clean again. Finding a place with heated greenhouses and plenty of nooks and crannies to kip in while he's recovering from nasty flu was an enormous stroke of luck. He's been here a few days now. The weather is beginning to warm up and he's just realised there's a huge reservoir of water in one of the greenhouses they use to water the plants. He's become obsessed with getting in and having an all-over wash.
What will George do when he finds a scraggy ex-soldier bathing in his reservoir? What will Peter do? Is it time for them to both stop running from the past and settle down?
