Drummond is the British male role model we need in the world.
I’ll tell you what sold me. On the first page, this paragraph: “Demobilised officer finding peace incredibly tedious, would welcome diversion. Legitimate, if possible; but crime, if of a comparatively humorous description, no objection. Excitement essential.”
Drummond, like many soldiers coming home, finds it hard to acclimatise to normal life. He misses the structure, excitement, challenge, and camaraderie of war. But he doesn’t sit broodingly, he asks for help in the most masculine way possible. By offering it to others.
I could go on, but just read it. Great book.
