Synopsis (Credit: back cover)
1358 Private Samuel M. Moss
East Lanchashire Regt.
21st January 1917
He sent the last of his buff-coloured postcards ('50 yds from the Germans. Posted from trench') four days before he died. Every year, his sister visits Sammy's grave at Cabaret Rouge, and the graves of thousands of other soldiers killed in the battlefields of Northern France. In this powerful elegy, Julian Barnes evokes the youthful lives wasted by the ravages of the Great War* and the suffering of those left behind.
Illustrated by Howard Hodgkin.
* World War I
(Bought second-hand at Help the Rural Child Charity Bookshop, Main Road, Retreat.)
A delicate tale of grief: well researched, sparsely worded, beautifully crafted. One of the quickest books you are likely to read, but bound to be among those you will remember the longest.
