Summary
Told in the voice of a young soldier, the story follows 24 hours in his life at the front during World War I, and captures his memories as he looks back over his life.
Full of stunningly researched detail and engrossing atmosphere, the book leads to a dramatic and moving conclusion. Both a love story and a deeply moving account of the horrors of the First World War, this audiobook will reach everyone from 9 to 90.

Beautifully written
This story is beautifully written and narrated, and mingles the story of the happiness of a close loving family and the horror of the trenches. It is quite the saddest thing I have ever read, you'll need some tissues on hand!

Should be part of the school syllabus.
Such a moving story told simply and with great effect. It is the story of the many who go unrecorded because they are not rich or “important “.
It is a story as important today as then, the cast of players has changed but the story has not.
I was moved to tears at the end.

War doesn't kill love ever
This book is exactly what you think of when you ask to be told a story. My heart will stay there for a while longer.
