This novel by British author Sebastian Faulks is one of the most significant, deeply moving, and highly acclaimed literary works of contemporary historical fiction focusing on the First World War. The plot of this modern classic follows a young Englishman, Stephen Wraysford, whose destiny becomes inextricably divided between a pre-war, intensely passionate and forbidden love affair in France and the unimaginable horrors, claustrophobia, and mud of the Somme battlefields. With exceptional, almost clinical precision and profound psychological insight, Faulks portrays the harsh reality of trench warfare and underground tunneling, whilst simultaneously exploring the ultimate limits of human endurance, trauma, and the enduring power of love within a world of total destruction. The novel achieved immense global success, was adapted into highly praised television and stage productions, and is regularly ranked on lists of the greatest British novels of all time.
