World War One, and as shells fall in Flanders, a Canadian nurse
searches for her brother believed dead in the trenches despite eerie
signs that suggest otherwise in this gripping and powerful historical
novel from the bestselling author of The Bear and the Nightingale.
January 1918. Laura Iven has been discharged from her duties as a nurse
and sent back to Halifax, Canada, leaving behind a brother still
fighting in the trenches of the First World War. Now home, she receives
word of Freddie's death in action along with his uniform -but something
doesn't quite make sense. Determined to find out more, Laura returns to
Belgium as a volunteer at a private hospital. Soon after arriving, she
hears whispers about ghosts moving among those still living and a
strange inn-keeper whose wine gives soldiers the gift of oblivion.
Could this have happened to Freddie - but if so, where is he?
November 1917. Freddie Iven awakens after an explosion to find himself
trapped under an overturned pillbox with an enemy soldier, a German,
each of them badly wounded. Against all odds, the two men form a bond
and succeed in clawing their way out. But once in No Man's Land, where
can either of them turn where they won't be shot as enemy soldiers or
deserters? As the killing continues, they meet a man - a fiddler - who
seems to have the power to make the hellscape that surrounds them
disappear. But at what price?
A novel of breath-taking scope and drama, of compulsive readability, of
stunning historical research lightly worn, and of brilliantly drawn
characters who will make you laugh and break your heart in a single
line, The Warm Hands of Ghosts is a book that will speak to readers
directly about the trauma of war and the power of those involved to
love, endure and transcend it.
