1942, England. Allied British and Canadian forces are preparing for the Dieppe operation, which will end in failure and become a bloody prelude to the famous Normandy landings in 1944. The war brings together three young Englishmen - Kitty, Ed and Larry. Both guys fall in love with Kitty, she chooses Ed. Soon the friends are separated. Larry and Ed will go to the front - they will become participants in the Dieppe Raid. The echo of this tragedy will not only haunt them all their lives, but will also burst into the destinies of their descendants. “Native Shore” is a fascinating saga about grandiose world events that pull ordinary people into their orbit with their joys and sorrows. These are deep reflections on the meaning of human life, on the place of art and religion in it. This is a story about all-consuming love and our eternal pursuit of happiness. Nicholson has a wonderful gift - he makes the reader understand and love his characters, as he understands and loves them.
