And In The Morning

And In The Morning It's the year 1914, and Scotland is at war. Jim Hay is a strapping young lad turning 16, one step closer to joining the army. When his father is killed in action and his mother dies from insanity. He finds that the trenches of France are not the most welcoming places. With a wife at home Jim is desperate to stay alive. His life becomes a fight for survival. I recommend this book to anyone grade seven and up for graphic content. It gives a good idea of what our great grandfathers had to go through during WWI. I liked this book because it was made from letters and dairies from WWI.
