This is the best book I've read in 2024 so far. From the opening pages with the humorous extract from the school newspaper, I knew I'd love it. What a pleasure to get to know Elly and Gaunt in their safe schoolboy existence. So much humanity in the portrayals as they and their friends are led into a horrible war that makes their boyhood fears ridiculous. Excellently crafted and with brilliant characters. Sublime.
