"Potent. . . . Harrowing. . . . War and Turpentine is billed as a novel, but that's hardly the word for it. It's an uncanny work of historical reconstruction . . . a gritty yet melancholy account of war and memory and art that may remind some readers of the work of the German writer W. G. Sebald." --The New York Times
"A masterly book about memory, art, love and war. . . . Affords the sensory pleasures of a good novel while also conveying the restlessness of memoir. . . . A blast of narrative fresh air." --The New York Times Book Review
"A lovingly reimagined life of an ordinary man whose life was forever marked by the first world war." --The Economist (Best Book of the Year)
A set of notebooks, left unopened for thirty years, leads to a personal story of love, war and art, for fans of W.G. Sebald and Pat Barker
