Set on the Eastern front of WWI, it opens with preparations for a deserter‘s hanging. A Romanian officer, Apostol Bologa, is secure in his duty, but the reaction of another plants a seed of doubt. He begins questioning and then his company is sent to the Romanian front where misgivings grow into debilitations and, finally, the inevitable end. The description and plot are engaging, but the plodding backstory and the philosophical dithering 🙄.

BarbaraBB Sounds tough. Great cover though! 4y

Apparently my daughter has a thing for Romanian war novels. Even stranger is the fact that it seems to have a character with her name who has superpowers (from what I have learned by her muttering it out loud)
