A debut novel about two young men who fall in love during a war, haunting and virtuoso.
In 1914, hundreds of young men are being brutally killed on both sides of the conflict by the Great War. Henry Gaunt, Sidney Ellwood, and the rest of their classmates, snugly tucked away in their dream boarding school in the English countryside, feel removed from the violence of the front. The excitement of the conflict only increases upon hearing of their comrades' valiant deaths.
Half German, half English, Gaunt is too preoccupied with his own personal conflict—a total obsession with his best friend, the gorgeous, handsome Ellwood—to realize that Ellwood is also lusting for him. Gaunt promptly enlists, relieved to get away from his intense love for Ellwood, at his family's request to stop the anti-German animosity they encounter. Ellwood, much to Gaunt's dismay, bolts to the front to join him, and soon the rest of their classmates follow. Death is now all around them, frequently just inches away, and nobody knows who will be the next.
In Memoriam is a stunning debut that tells an epic tale of the forbidden romance that blossoms in the grip of conflict, as well as the catastrophic tragedies of war.
