Floating

November 1952. Vernon Browne arrives in Toronto from England with little luggage other than a chip on his shoulder and suppressed memories. Something happened during his time in Bomber Command to scar his mind. Good luck and the ability to bowl a cricket ball dangerously fast land Vern a job at a boys’ school in Toronto. There he finds a colleague with a pigeon obsession, a little girl who survived polio, an older one-eyed teacher with a beautiful wife, a boy who wants to get him fired, and a tyrant named Stump. Vern drifts through his first year helped or checked by everyone he meets. Then on a warm summer day he chances on a village named Purpleville. . . . Book 3 of the series 'Until Peace.'
