A bestseller in Britain for nearly a year, this novel about the horror and passion of World War I is destined to be compared to classics such as All Quiet on the Western Front and A Farewell to Arms. "An extremely good novel, and a considerable addition to the fin-de-siecle flowering of first world war literature."--Penelope Lively, The Spectator (London).

"...a riveting story of love--and incalculable suffering--during WW I. What could become mere period romance is transformed, in this writer's hands, into dramatized history with a power almost Tolstoyan...A wonderful book, ringing with truth."

Kirkus, 12/01/1995

"It is an ambitious book, less in literary terms than in thematic ones....It is not a saga in the conventional sense...but it is old-fashioned in its construction, its prose, and its purposes....Sebastian Faulks has read the war's literature with care and describes that warfare with convincing detail....a powerful book."

Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World, 02/18/1996
