Description
In Memoriam is a haunting and virtuosic debut novel about two young men who fall in love during World War I. Against the backdrop of the devastating conflict, the story unfolds as a moving portrait of young love and the tragic consequences of war. In 1914, the outbreak of war feels far away to the young men at their idyllic boarding school in the English countryside. However, when news of the heroic deaths of their friends reaches them, the reality of the war becomes all too close. For Henry Gaunt, the war brings an all-consuming infatuation with his best friend, Sidney Ellwood, which he struggles to acknowledge. When Ellwood joins him at the front, the rest of their classmates soon follow, and death begins to surround them in its grim reality. This epic tale of forbidden romance and the devastating tragedies of war is a breathtaking debut that will stay with readers long after they close the final pages.
