Description
In the brutal aftermath of World War I, Tristan Sadler—once a soldier and now a man haunted by guilt—finds himself drawn back into the shadows of the conflict as he travels to Norwich in September 1919. From the claustrophobic horror of France’s trenches to the tense, uncertain world of peacetime, his journey unfolds through passion, jealousy, and hard-won courage. As loyalties are tested and betrayals surface, the novel explores how love and obsession can both sustain and destroy, and how moral certainty can fracture under the weight of survival. With John Boyne’s distinctive blend of historical immediacy and emotionally charged storytelling, this is a gripping tale of what war leaves behind—and what people will do to outrun it.
