The great interest of Jocelyn Playfair's book for modern readers is its complete authenticity.

Set sixty years ago at the time of the fall of Tobruk in 1942, one of the low points of the war, and written only a year later when we still had no idea which way the war was going. "A House in the Country" has a verisimilitude denied to modern writers.

Sebastian Faulks in "Charlotte Gray" or Ian McEwan in "Atonement" do their research and evoke a particular period, but ultimately are dependent on their own and historians' interpretation of events; whereas a novel like this one is an exact, unaffected portrayal of things as they were at the time.
