Their marriage is tested to the limit as the war progresses and Edmund suffers neurasthenia and later disabling wounds at the Somme.
The Potters of Halberton is a compelling tale of love and loss, jealousy and anger, magnanimity and denial as Edmund and Lilian are compelled to face uncomfortable truths in a world that is changing for ever.
