Warning: Tissues needed whilst reading this book!
Oh my gosh what a tear jerker. This is an amazing novel. A well written, thought provoking, emotional novel. Told by Private Tommo Peaceful 24 hours before his brother's execution for 'cowardness'. Tommo recounts moments of their lives leading up to the the amazing ending. We look at their lives, how they grew up and came to be where they are. Family life, death, and happy memories. You really get the sense of family and what their lives were like. A brother's love, Big Joe, Molly and Mother and how important they are to each other. The senslessness of war and the 'ugliness' of war are portrayed. It's unjust and unfair and the ending is heart breaking.
A Fabulous, fabulous Book!
