Overview

Sam Morbeck is unhappily married to Jane, who has squandered most of his retirement funds on a gambling addiction. He wants to keep any monies forthcoming from the property of his recently deceased aunt and uncle away from her despicable hand, either through divorce or some brutal act. But High Wood, as Sam soon discovers, is no ordinary house. What is all the dust coating everything, and why, when the cleaners arrive, has it suddenly disappeared? In a novel that rapidly moves from the commonplace irritabilities of an unhappy married life to the wide open expanses of what happens after death, David Swattridge's Pale Battalions - The Dark Land adds another dimension to the journey of the soul. Where did all the missing in action go after their deaths in World War 1? In a novel which is by turns comic and tragic, Sam, together with his new love, Elizabeth, the vicar, are about to find out.
