The Hendersons opens in 1914 just before the outbreak of World War I and concludes in 1919. It follows the lives of the eponymous Henderson family: William, a Sheffield barber, his wife, Lydia, and his four children, Matthew, Joe, Bob and Amy. William being a fervent churchman, lay preacher and pacifist, opposes the church’s call to arms and he and the rest of the family find themselves in a different kind of war, one which appears to have no end.

Inspiring and Informative
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2016
Set before and during WW1 and based around a Sheffield family, this story narrates the build up to the war and the development of the Henderson family's position as Conscientious Objectors and the consequences of their stance. I found the core of the book which describes both some dreadful battlefield happenings juxtaposed with the experiences of long weeks, months and years of barren prison life especially moving. I also enjoyed the flashes of socialist politics, echoes of which we feel today. There is also a pre-feminist era sub plot which adds more depth to the tale.The book's ending comes quickly and neatly and left me with a sense of how those in the Conscientious Objector movement in 1918 might have felt that the work to build a just and peaceful world had only just begun.
