Description
The harsh realities of the Great War prompt a reappraisal of values for Dominic Langton in this devastating conclusion to Martin Boyd's series.
We rejoin Dominic as he journeys back to war, re-enlisting at the start of World War I. Leaving his wife in Australia to tend to their sheep farm, he heads back to England and reconnects with an old flame, Sylvia.
After killing a man and witnessing the atrocities of war, Dominic vows to change his ways, cleansing himself of all his past indiscretions and wrongdoings. He returns home to Australia a changed man.
When Blackbirds Sing offers a profound reflection on personal transformation amidst the brutal backdrop of war.
