Description
The horrors of war are laid bare in this powerful novel. In 1917, army psychiatrist William Rivers is tasked with treating shell-shocked soldiers at Craiglockhart War Hospital in Scotland. As he witnesses the devastating effects of trauma, he begins to question whether he can send these men back to the trenches. Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, two prominent poets, are among those who arrive at the hospital. Their experiences and emotions serve as a catalyst for Rivers' own moral crisis. The lines between duty and compassion are blurred, leaving Rivers to grapple with the true cost of war. This thought-provoking novel explores the human cost of conflict and the complexities of treating those affected by it.
