The Ways of Mud and Bone

By Carrie Ann Lahain

Book Overview

In the summer of 1918, as the Great War rages in Europe, nineteen-year-old Meryl Goodson's small-town life is shattered when her cousin Nora's fianc is killed in France. The tragedy causes a rift in the community between those for the war and those against it. As local tensions rise, Meryl begins her service with an overseas relief unit. Caught up in her own brutal day-to-day struggle in war-weary France, she is unaware of how far matters have deteriorated at home. The truth leaves her broken and grieving. Is the world she once knew gone forever? Or can the friendships she's made help Meryl find the strength to begin again?A bit like LITTLE WOMEN meets ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, THE WAYS OF MUD AND BONE is a uniquely American book about the war to end all wars.
