About this book

William Tully is a young London socialist and pacifist, full of confident theories about the coming brotherhood of nations, when he and his new wife honeymoon in the Belgian countryside in the summer of 1914. They notice nothing until the German army is upon them, and the war William was certain could never happen tears his small certainties apart. Cicely Hamilton traces his passage from smug idealism through raw patriotism to something quieter and more broken, refusing easy comfort at every turn. Published in 1919 and awarded the Prix Femina, the novel draws on Hamilton's own service near the front and stands among the sharpest fictional reckonings with the First World War.

About the author

Cicely Hamilton

Cicely Hamilton (1872-1952) was an English writer, actress, and suffragist. She campaigned for women's rights and produced plays, novels, and essays, including the feminist study Marriage as a Trade. Her relief work in wartime France shaped the disillusionment that runs through much of her later fiction.
