A new edition of Philip Child’s great Canadian novel of the First
World War. A horrifying description of war, specifically embodied
in the vain and inglorious futility of the First World War, God’s
Sparrows is a novel rich in compassion and firm in its faith in the
human spirit. Philip Child created a Canadian family saga, a modern
pilgrim’s progress in which individuals surmount the corrosive
effects of brutality, maintaining their ability to love and endure
under the most agonizing circumstances. His book, first published
in 1937, remains as a stirring testimony to that ability. It offers
profound insight into the experience of the First World War, not
just as a catastrophe affecting his characters but as a crucible in
which the whole of this nation found itself tried.
