Description
William - an Englishman by Cicely Hamilton is a powerful and moving novel about the impact of war on ordinary people. Written in 1918, it's a personal and passionate assertion of the futility of conflict. The book tells the story of a couple whose idyllic honeymoon is disrupted by the horrors of war. With its grim realism and immediacy, William - an Englishman is a masterpiece that captures the brutality and chaos of this period in history. Persephone Books considers it one of the greatest novels about war ever written. This novel won the Prix Femina-Vie Heureuse in 1919 and remains a deeply moving and thought-provoking read.
