This was so good! The beginning was a little slow and at first I was a tiny bit worried that perhaps it wouldn't be as good as I hoped. But the writing style was lovely throughout, and the plot/tension built slowly and steadily over the course of the story. I enjoyed each of the characters, although Francis was my favorite, followed by Alex and Charlotte. Francis' letters and Charlotte's experiences as a nurse show the ugliness and reality of war in a way that is poignantly realistic, yetI can't believe how long it took me to read the 303 pages of this book..it was amazing though. definitely recommend to everyone.
This is a book that I would like to own. The story mainly follows the lives of two families with five children, aged 15 to 21 when the story begins. They live in Scotland and all deal with World War I in vastly different ways. The book begins by focusing on two of the five, then switching over to a different two, then adding two more, and finishing with a focus on four of the original five. So, you read firsthand opinions of all of them. There are references to many works of literature and art
This book started as a rather typical 3-star story of World War I. But as it progressed, I liked it more and more. The setting is a rather small Scottish village and the plot revolves around two families, one wealthy and aristocratic and the other struggling with a shop in the town. Both send their sons to war and in the end realize that bullets and poison gas and the horrors of war do not recognize privilege. Much of the story is told through letters written by the wealthy son to the daughter
[Review first posted at Quite Spectacular]The year is 1915 and the war has already gone on longer than predicted. Two sets of siblings become friends in the unlikeliest circumstances just before the realities of the war begin to permeate their lives. Focusing on the fighting and life back home, the story follows the friends through the thick of it and the aftermath. Remembrance was stirring, thought-provoking, and heartbreaking. I rarely read anything about World War I - the last being The Last
An amazing account of World War I which covers with sensitivity and realism almost every aspect of the conflict from the eyes of four teenagers. For anyone who enjoyed reading "A Rose For The Anzac Boys" this book is a must-read. (In my opinion it may even be slightly better)
I absolutely loved this book growing up, so it was interesting coming back and rereading it. I doubt if I had read it now for the first time, it would have been so high on my favourites list. The characters aren't the best developed and feel a bit like stock WW1 characters: the conscientious objector, the nurse, the munitions worker. The story is also fairly slow-moving too, with only a handful of major plot moments.But for getting students interested in the history of WW1? Fantastic. Theresa
