Over dit audioboek

All I think, all I feel, all I know is pressed into this moment. And what I know is that I can’t let him go. 1916. Returning to the Front after injury, nineteen-year-old Stephen wonders what he’s fighting for. Then he meets Private Danny McCormick, a smart, talented new recruit. From their first meeting, there’s something undeniable between them – something forbidden by both society and the army. Determined to protect Danny, Stephen must face down the ignorance of his superiors as well as the onslaught of German shells and sniper fire. As the summer ticks down to the Battle of the Somme, will Stephen and Danny’s love save them – or condemn them? This book contains slurs that we today recognise as insulting and unacceptable but which were commonly and casually used during the period. These words and phrases do not reflect the opinions of the author and publisher, but it is important in a historical work of fiction to reflect the reality of the world in which the story is set.
