"Jampot Smith is the story of a group of friends as they edge towards adulthood in the sunshine and shadow of Llandudno during the Second World War. For Bernard, the Jampot Smith of the title, for Kathy, Epsom and Dewi, the joys and pains, the flirtations and friendships of these adolescent years are brought into sharper focus by the war that lurks in all their adult futures, and burns across the water in Liverpool, as tantalisingly close and as dangerous as the romantic love that beckons."--BOOK JACKET.
