Tony Rennell was a senior editorial executive on the Sunday Times
and the Mail on Sunday before switching to writing 15 years ago. He
is the author and co-author of seven books, of which When Daddy
Came Home was the first. He writes regularly on a variety of
subjects for the Daily Mail. He lives in Suffolk. He was born in
1947, the son of a father who came home but never spoke about his
war. 'When I told him I was writing this book, he was silent. After
he died, I was told that he had read it and, most unusually for
him, wept. But, to me, typically, he said not a word.'
Fascinating.
