A Mouthful of Gravel

Set in wartime Holland, A Mouthful of Gravel recounts the tumultuous life of Piet ten Bosh during the late summer and early autumn months of 1944. As world-shattering events unfold around them, Piet and his good friend Hans find themselves in an equally dangerous struggle. The pair makes a decision to do what is morally right but which puts them at odds with the wishes of their parents. As the Allied war machine approaches, Piet is left with the option of obeying his elders or doing his own thing.
