Customer Reviews

Highly recommended war/lovestory

I've never read a book before that made me cry while reading the introductory chapter. The Winter of the World is beautifully written. The story, based on the state funeral of Britain's Unknown Warrior after the Great War, is fictional but does evoke the true horrors and devastation of trench warfare in WWI. Against that backdrop, Lee tells the hopeless lovestory of love lost and the despair and finally redemption that come from it. I strongly recommend it!
