A deep and affecting novel about the stirring power of human love in the midst of the atrocities of warJohn Hilliard, a young subaltern returning to the Western Front after a brief period of sick leave back in England, finds his battalion tragically altered. His commanding officer finds escape in alcohol, there is a new adjutant and even Hilliard's batman has been killed. But there is David Barton. As yet untouched and unsullied by war, radiating charm and common sense, forever writing long letters to his family. Theirs is a strange meeting and a strange relationship- the coming together of opposites in the summer lull before the inevitable storm. Young officer John Hilliard returns to his battalion in France following a period of sick leave in England.
