It blends searing honesty with an almost hallucinatory vision of a world thrown utterly out of joint. Rooted as it is in the author’s own disturbing experience of war in our time, it is one of a handful of novels by which the twentieth century will be not only remembered but judged. ‘An extraordinary achievement. ’ Angela Carter‘A remarkable journey into the mind of a growing boy… horror and humanity are blended into a unique and unforgettable fiction. ’ Sunday Times‘An immensely powerful novel – in a class of its own for sheer imaginative force. ’ Daily Telegraph‘Remarkable… form, content and style fuse with complete success… one of the great war novels of the 20th century. ’ William Boyd‘Gripping and remarkable… I have never read a novel which gave me a stronger sense of the blind helplessness of war… unforgettable. ’ Observer‘Ranks with the greatest British writing on the Second World War. ’ The Times‘A brilliant fusion of history, autobiography and imaginative speculation. An incredible literary achievement and almost intolerably moving. ’ Anthony Burgess
