Winner of the Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Fiction and shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, Best First Book, 2011. A friendship forged across the battlelines of Gallipoli leads a young soldier to question all he knows about loyalty, and about faith. It will lead him to court martial and brutal punishment; it will sustain him through the horrors of the Western Front. And it will see him home again, a different man from the one who went to war. ​
