À propos de cet audio
GMA BUZZ PICK • INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER AND AWARD WINNER • A haunting, virtuosic debut novel about two young men who fall in love during World War I • “Will live in your mind long after you’ve closed the final pages.” —Maggie O’Farrell, best-selling author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait
A Best Book of the Year: The New Yorker, The Washington Post, NPR
“In Memoriam is the story of a great tragedy, but it is also a moving portrait of young love.”—The New York Times
It’s 1914, and World War I is ceaselessly churning through thousands of young men on both sides of the fight. The violence of the front feels far away to Henry Gaunt, Sidney Ellwood and the rest of their classmates, safely ensconced in their idyllic boarding school in the English countryside. News of the heroic deaths of their friends only makes the war more exciting.
Gaunt, half German, is busy fighting his own private battle—an all-consuming infatuation with his best friend, the glamorous, charming Ellwood—without a clue that Ellwood is pining for him in return. When Gaunt's family asks him to enlist to forestall the anti-German sentiment they face, Gaunt does so immediately, relieved to escape his overwhelming feelings for Ellwood. To Gaunt's horror, Ellwood rushes to join him at the front, and the rest of their classmates soon follow. Now death surrounds them in all its grim reality, often inches away, and no one knows who will be next.
An epic tale of both the devastating tragedies of war and the forbidden romance that blooms in its grip, In Memoriam is a breathtaking debut.

this story broke me
Amazing read and really made you feel the horrors of WW1. Every death made me tear up and knowing that another war would be coming just twenty years later made it even more impactful.

Full immersion into the horror of WW1
What a beautifully written novel. Learning first-hand through the eyes of the characters has been altering for me. The horrors of this war shine through in such a way that we can only hope and pray war doesn’t swallow us again some day. A tribute to the thousands that died “for King and country”.
Listen, learn, and lament the losses.
Well done Alice Winn.

Don’t miss this one!!
The stunning and chilling detail that enriched the story!! We have no idea of the impact of this war. It was supposed to be the war to end all wars. Sadly it seems we didn’t learn anything.
