Private Peaceful is the classic rites of passage story of two brothers and the exuberance and pain of their teenage love for the same girl, the pressures of their feudal family life, the horrors and folly of war and the ultimate price of courage and cowardice. Reminiscent of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Private Peaceful is set in the fields of Devon and the WW1 battlefields of Flanders, giving us a heart breaking glimpse of the way we once lived and still die.
