Description

William Boyd's An Ice-Cream War is a gripping and humorous novel that explores the often-overlooked conflict in East Africa during World War I. Set against the backdrop of a war with little point, the story follows the impact of the conflict on both those fighting abroad and those left at home. As the war rages on, Boyd skillfully weaves together the experiences of those caught up in the conflict, revealing the human cost of war and the often-comedic side of its effects. With a keen eye for detail and a masterful narrative voice, Boyd brings this forgotten chapter in history to life. This is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that sheds new light on a pivotal moment in history.
