Sixteen-year-old Albert Fraser believes that serving in the First World War will make him a man; but after a shell blast buries him alive in a trench, he instead finds himself withouat a sense of self or purpose. Spending the next few years on the roads and rails, taking whatever jobs he can, Albert seems destined to be a constant wanderer, until an exhibition of Picasso's Guernica shows him where his life went wrong, and what he must do to set it right.A tribute to the outsider, to the underdog, to those who endure and those who long for something more, June Hutton's stunning debut reminds us that every road has a destination - but only for those with the strength to follow it to the end.
