Summary
Here he is again, standing in the middle of the train platform, gazing at Will like the lovestruck fool he is. He has to say goodbye again but he can’t, his heart will splinter if he does and he will have no hope of ever recovering from it.
Or in another life, Tom is thirteen and Will is sixteen when he moves to Tom’s whimsical little village in the English countryside. It’s a simple yet merry life until war breaks out and duty calls thousands of men to fight for their country but Tom is still too young. The years pass, the war goes on and it becomes too painful to see his friend and his older brother go off to battle in France again and again. It's even harder when Tom realises he's in love with someone whose bound to be a soldier as long as it drags on.
From 1913 to 1921, this is a chronicle of war, brotherhood, the intoxicating rush of first love and the paralysing heartbreak that often follows.
