a raw and unflinching depiction of war yet somehow still brimming with love. intentionality carries this novel. arden’s focus on the casualties of wwi not just in a numerical sense of lives lost, but how the carrying out of such horrors made their mark on history and echo into the present. memory is a wound but also a teacher.
of course the question at the heart of this book is: what does the devil do when hell arrives on earth?
