Time Bomb

(4) 4-6 While in England following the second World War, four friends discover an unexploded bomb on an abandoned property. Despite a few lapses into melodrama, the novel effectively explores the ramifications of one's actions and the sustaining nature of boyhood friendship while presenting a strong portrait of time and place. The glossary is useful for explaining the British slang and some historical terms.
