My Boy Jack

The year is 1913 and war with Germany is imminent. Rudyard Kipling’s determination to send his myopic only son to war triggers a bitter family conflict which leaves Britain’s renowned patriot devastated by the warring of his own greatest passions: his love for children – above all, his own – and his devotion to King and Country.
David Haig’s My Boy Jack is a powerful and moving account of the anguish at the heart of a man whose storytelling continues to delight millions all over the world.
