A tale of love in war time - an affair between a military chaplain and a nurse.
Simon Keable tells a story about his grandfather, Robert Keable, who wrote a scandalous semi-autobiographical bestselling novel after WW1 about an affair between a military chaplain and a nurse. Robert had been a missionary in Africa before becoming a chaplain in France in WW1. After the war he ran away to Tahiti where he lived in Paul Gauguin’s house and later married a Tahitian princess!
