Sailor, Sailor Denise Cory Blake

Sailor, Sailor is a gentle, heart-warming WW2 tale based upon true events, and inspired by stories shared between parent and child over the years.

Denise Cory Blake writes with insight, affection and light humour, pulling the reader deep into her memory as she explores the past and present through the eyes of elderly ex-submariner, Syd Williams.

Syd, who lives alone following the death of his wife, reflects sadly on his life, family and upbringing. He moves the reader with tales of his eldest brother, a soldier who sustained a life-changing injury during the evacuation of Dunkirk.

We also meet Stephen, the son who attempts to unravel the mystery of his father's past, as we are tenderly guided through history in this time jumping saga spanning generations
