Jakes boy: sequel to 'A Place to Call Home?'

Jakes Boy continues the story from 1936 to 1945 in post-war Britain and follows the trials and tribulation of Jacobs son, Patrick, who has returned from the war a decorated RAF airman who took part in the famous Dam Busters Raid (aka Operation Chastise).

With Jakes demise, the story picks up with Patrick, following his trials and tribulations in a much-changed post-war world.

Patrick meets by chance Jakes daughter, Ruth, who unbeknownst to them is his half-sister.

The two form a purely platonic long-distance alliance, but each can feel the pull of something stronger despite their widely differing social backgrounds.
