In Memoriam - Winn Alice - książka
Producent: Penguin Books
Winner of the Waterstones Novel of the Year, "In Memoriam" is an enthralling and poignant narrative about love and loss during the First World War. The year is 1914, and for Henry Gaunt, Sidney Ellwood, and their classmates at a peaceful boarding school in the English countryside, the threat of conflict seems a distant concern. At just seventeen, enlistment is out of reach, yet Gaunt faces another battle - a profound, unspoken affection for his closest companion, the dreamily poetic Ellwood, who, unbeknownst to Gaunt, has harbored feelings for him all along. When Gaunt's German mother urges him to join the British army to shelter their family from anti-German sentiment, he seizes the opportunity, eager to distance himself from his tumultuous emotions for Ellwood. The reality of warfare is brutally grim, and despite Gaunt's efforts to deter Ellwood from following him to the front lines, Ellwood soon enlists, unable to stay away. Amid the chaos of the trenches, the two find brief moments of comfort and understanding in each other, even as they are surrounded by death and the constant threat of their own demise. "In Memoriam" is a powerful debut, weaving a heart-wrenching tapestry of the horrors of war and a forbidden love that defies the odds.
