The Homeward Run
Germany is on the eve of collapse and under cover of darkness, a U-boat slips her moorings and heads westwards with six frogmen on board bound on a perilous mission. Her crew brace themselves for the ordeal, while her Commander is con-fronted with a problem of terrifying simplicity: in his First Lieutenant, he recognises the man who has seduced his wife . ..
Throughout this brilliant novel the despair and nerve racking uncertainty that beset German men and women hovers darkly in the background. It throws into sharp relief the characters of Jean Reguir, the leader of the frogmen, Marianne, a dancing girl from Wilhelmshaven, and over them all, the Captain and his second-in-command.
The book is a fascinating glimpse of Germany in March and April, 1945, and of two people in the terror and confusion of the impending defeat.
