Description

Pat Barker confirms her place in the pantheon of Britain's finest novelists with a masterful novel that portrays the staggering human cost of the Great War. Admirers of the Regeneration trilogy and fans of Downton Abbey alike will be enthralled. The enormity of the war's impact€”not only on soldiers at the front but on the loved ones they leave behind€”is poignantly expressed in her unflinching and elegant prose.
