Overview
Critically injured in a mysterious air crash, D. considers the question which has haunted his young life: 'what am I doing here?' Wherever he turned, D. always seemed to be an unwanted outsider: the 'middle-child', the only boy in a family dominated by women; a Catholic at odds with the mostly Protestant boys around him; a Grammar school boy from the wrong side of town; a lonely war-time evacuee. Joining the RAF seems to offer independence and escape, but then comes the crash... In Second Chances, Denis F. Ratcliffe writes a gripping and authentic account of the pain of an unhappy childhood, and life in an industrial housing estate in Swansea during and after the war.Book Details
