Produktinformationen zu „The Absolutist “
September 1919. Der 21jährige Tristan Sadler reist nach Norwich, um einige Briefe an Marian Bancroft zu überbringen. Tristan kämpfte im ersten Weltkrieg neben ihrem Bruder Will, bis sich dieser entschloss, den Kriegsdienst zu verweigern und daraufhin als Verräter erschossen wurde. Eine Tatsache, die für die Familie Scham und Ehrverlust bedeutet. Doch die Briefe sind nicht der einzige Grund für Tristans Reise, er verbirgt ein Geheimnis, welches er Marian mitteilen muss, wenn er nur den Mut aufbringt. Ein tief bewegender Roman des Autors von 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'.

Rezension zu „The Absolutist “
"Extraordinary... The narrative is by turns surprising and tragic in equal measure while its troubling conclusion will stay with readers long after they've closed the book" -- Carlo Gebler "Powerful, poignant and beautifully written. This will become a classic war novel" Bookseller "Compulsive, stylish and gripping" Reader's Digest "A wonderful, sad, tender book" -- Colm Toibin "John Boyne brings a completely fresh eye to the most important stories. He guides us through the realm of history and makes the journey substantial, poignant and real. He is one of the great craftsmen in contemporary literature" -- Colum McCann
