I wanted to like this so much more, probably because there’s a paucity of stories like this one. Unfortunately, I really find most war stories both too depressing and boring, as was the case here.

What a horrifyingly real story about WW1. This book is hard to stomach. However, between all the horror, a beautiful yet tragic love story develops. Edit 1 month later: This book has been on my mind since I read it. What an incredible powerful story.
