Giant's Bread
by Mary Westmacott
The story centres on composer Vernon Deyre, erroneously reported as killed in action in World War I. He assumes a new identity and wins acclaim in the music world. A romantic, but not sentimental story about real people, that allows Christie the room to develop her characters freely and in depth.
This is one of six titles Christie wrote under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott.
