World War II brought about an avalanche of tragedy, heartbreak and division, but what happens when that division is within your own family?
Brothers Francis and Pieter are in disagreement. Living in turbulent times as one bloody war has ended and another stirs in the near future, tensions are high, and they can both feel it.
Francis is a dedicated pacifist, committed to peace and determined not to go backwards to a violent world. Pieter believes that peace can only be achieved by signing up to fight.
The event that occurs after this is one that will change Francis’s life forever.
In the Mouth of the Wolf is based on the true story of Sir Michael Morpurgo’s uncles and adapted by Simon Reade.
