An unforgettable love story and a gripping page-turner.
“A highlight! A very moving and impressive book.” NDR eat.READ.sleep.
Winner of the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize and Debut Book of the Year at the British Book Awards
For English public schoolboys Henry Gaunt and Sidney Ellwood, the war is still a world away. They only learn about the young men losing their lives on the front line through the weekly reports in their school newspaper, celebrating them as heroes. But Gaunt is much more preoccupied with the secret attraction he feels for his charming friend Ellwood, unaware that Ellwood harbours feelings for him too. When both eventually enlist in the British Army, reality soon catches up with them – and changes the lives and the friendship of the two men in ways neither could have foreseen.
“If you don’t read this book, you’re missing out.” Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry
“The definition of a page-turner.” Sunday Times
“An extraordinary love story. When was the last time characters felt so real, so lovable, so alive? Alice Winn breathes new life into familiar history and, in this magnificent debut, reveals the full breadth of human life.” Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to You and Cleanness
“In Memoriam is a magnificent book – gripping and devastating, brilliant and tender, with echoes of Brideshead Revisited and Atonement. I love it!” Lev Grossman
Through the great fire
