'As magnificently comic as anything in the series.' Sunday Times
'A literary gem.' Claire Messud
'A Dance to the Music of Time' is universally acknowledged as one of the great works of English literature. Now in the first volume's 75th anniversary year, this twelve-volume series is ready to delight and entrance a new generation of readers.
In this sixth volume, with Britain once again on the brink of war, Nick Jenkins reflects back on his childhood growing up in the shadow of the World War I.
Wanting to follow in his father's footsteps, Nick sets his sights on becoming an officer in the British Army and asks his old school friend, Widmerpool, who is gaining prominence in the business world, for help. Yet, with reserves lists quickly filling up, it's not long until the threat of war is the only thing on everyone's mind.
