Beschreibung
1917. On a battlefield near the River Aisne, John lies in the aftermath of a blast, unable to move. Struggling to focus his thoughts, he is lost to memory - a chance encounter in a pub by a railway, a hot bath with his lover on a winter night, his childhood on a faraway coast - as the snow falls. So begins a narrative that spans four generations. The triumphant new novel from the author of the Orange Prize-winning "Fugitive Pieces".
