It's as outstanding in its depiction of trench warfare as it is dealing with the loves and losses of its protagonist, Reg. -- Marge PiercyFascinating, gripping, amazing It's so wonderful. It's beautifully written and heart wrenching. I just love this book. -- Maria Mazziotti Gillan (American Book Award winner)
