The Stone Carvers |
Set in the wilds of Canada, this is the story of Klara, nicknamed the spinster, and her brother Tilman, a boy who could never stay in one place. World War I changes their lives forever but both find a kind of redemption when in 1933 they join the carvers working on the Canadian War Memorial at Vimy Ridge. If you enjoyed Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks or Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy, then read this you must.
