Clarry, her brother Peter, and their beloved cousin Rupert were introduced in a WWI London–set Binny in Secret subplot; here, McKay gives us their full story. When soldier Rupert is declared MIA, "presumed dead," Clarry sets off to find him. This exceptional novel is both broad and deep, sketching the scope of the Western Front but drawing us into Clarry's heart and mind as she valiantly grows up. Bib.
