Freddie is a soldier during World War I. One fateful day, during a horrific battle, he ends up trapped under an overturned pillbox with a German soldier called Winter.
Somehow, they manage to escape and a very strong bond between them emerges.
During their struggle to evade other soldiers, they encounter Faland the fiddler, who is most certainly not who he seems. Winter spots him straight away, but Freddie falls head first into his trap.
We then meet Laura, Freddie’s sister, who is sure Freddie is not dead, as she was suspiciously told. Laura, being a front line nurse, heads out to The No Man’s Zone to try and find out what happened to his beloved brother.
This is an absolute gem of a book. You can feel the cold, the despair, the love, the longing and the horrors that World War I brought to humankind. Beautifully told, you can truly feel yourself standing there, on the dark battlefield with Freddie and Winter.
Absolutely loved it.… (más)
