About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Thread of Flame by Basil King. Read in English by Simon Evers Edward wakes up on board a ship crossing the Atlantic, on his return from the Great War – however, he finds that his memory of who he is and where he comes from is only fragmentary. The book follows his fascinating journey back to health and his growing realisation about what effect the War and its aftermath has had on him and also on the people he meets - as well as his family.
