What an incredible interpretation of the war experience. I absolutely loved the references to Rupert Brooke and Tennyson. The quotes and the historical accuracy made the story incredibly believable, and the atmosphere of public schools is captured really well.
Gaunt’s presumed death made me sob half-way through the book, and his relationship with Ellwood feels so real and raw.
