About this listen

Tom Palmer celebrates the unsung athletic heroes of the Armistice in a powerful intergenerational tale of the fell-running messengers on the front-line of war.

Lily has lots of worries. She's struggling to compete in her fell-running races and, worse, she's losing her gran to Alzheimer's. But then she discovers her great-great-grandfather's diaries from the First World War. Could his incredible story of bravery help her reconnect with her gran and even give her the inspiration she needs to push through and win?

Critic Reviews

“Tom Palmer has created a poignant story with different voices which manages deftly to explore painful memories of the war while keeping a foot firmly in the present” – Just Imagine

"A real triumph … beautifully-layered in its exploration of memory, loss and courage, emotionally resonating across time and place … Tom Palmer makes every word count, every word beat, every word resonate, pound, ache" – Chris Soul
