The Great War began for Dr Mehmed Greho when he was least expecting it, just when he was told that 'two important bodies' would be brought to the mortuary in that June heatwave.
The bodies could not be more important to the fate of Europe. They are the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg. And so with their assassination the Great War of 1914 begins for over seventy characters across Europe in Alexander Gatalica's dazzling novel. The Great War begins for fictional lives as well as historical figures, such as Guillaume Apollinaire, Jean Cocteau, Leon Trotsky, Paul Wittgenstein and Adolf Hitler. Their stories continue through the four and a half years of bloody fighting until the end of the First World War. More than just a chronicle of the era, Gatalica's fine sense for drama, philosophical approach and touches of magical realism combine for an unforgettable novel, truly Tolstoyan in its scope, that marks the centenary of World War I like no other novel.
