Review:

Powerful and deeply personal narrative of the author’s experience in a prison in France during the Great War.

So many of the things, feelings and experiences I know intimately from my own jailhouse experience.

The prose was so exquisite in places that I grabbed my highlighter to preserve them.

Really great reading, I’m sad that I reached the end.

Cinc étoiles.

This book made me want to: sleep under 15 blankets
