I loved this book! As queer fiction set against the backdrop of WWI goes, there was so much hope and love to be found in the writing. It is as much a love story as it is about the war, and personally I loved that it didn't focus too heavily on homophobia or what I feel may have been slightly unrealistic attitudes to gay relationships at that time in British history. I also thought the ending was perfect and tragic.
