A gripping and powerful story set in 1918 this explores the twin tragedies ofthe First World War and the influenza epidemic. Seen through the eyes of HenrySpeake an undertaker this is the first novel ever to examine the epidemicwhich claimed more lives than the war. A completely engrossing portrait of therelationships between some tantalisingly interesting characters...trulytouching. I absolutely loved it. Margaret Forster «
