On Bended KneesAuthor(s): Martin Goodman\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Barbican Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Barbican Press\nISBN-13: 9781909954502, 978-1909954502\nSynopsis\nThough Tomas is half-German, he is taught by English war veterans. He walks the ruins of Coventry with his English Gran, still crumbling from the blitz. Later, when Tomas nears adulthood, he goes to Germany to stay with his enigmatic uncle, Herr Poppel. The blind, elderly man was once a German soldier. Tomas has more family out in Dresden, a city still maimed by Allied firebombs. What does a young man make of all this atrocity, guilt and his own disgust at the past? What might we inherit from the wars of our elders, and how might we move on? 'The novel's blunt, no-frills economy is part of its charm. Goodman writes with flare and panache, and the narrative fizzes along. Goodman's novel soars.' - The Times\n'A perceptive, moving novel. Martin Goodman takes fierce delight in cutting through the easy clichy
