In Memoriam by Alice Winn Book Summary

GMA BUZZ PICK • INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER AND AWARD WINNER • A haunting, virtuosic debut novel about two young men who fall in love during World War I • “Will live in your mind long after you’ve closed the final pages.” —Maggie O’Farrell, best-selling author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait

A Best Book of the Year: The New Yorker, The Washington Post, NPR

“In Memoriam is the story of a great tragedy, but it is also a moving portrait of young love, and there is often a lightness to the book.”—The New York Times

It’s 1914, and World War I is ceaselessly churning through thousands of young men on both sides of the fight. The violence of the front feels far away to Henry Gaunt, Sidney Ellwood and the rest of their classmates, safely ensconced in their idyllic boarding school in the English countryside. News of the heroic deaths of their friends only makes the war more exciting.

Gaunt, half German, is busy fighting his own private battle--an all-consuming infatuation with his best friend, the glamorous, charming Ellwood--without a clue that Ellwood is pining for him in return. When Gaunt's family asks him to enlist to forestall the anti-German sentiment they face, Gaunt does so immediately, relieved to escape his overwhelming feelings for Ellwood. To Gaunt's horror, Ellwood rushes to join him at the front, and the rest of their classmates soon follow. Now death surrounds them in all its grim reality, often inches away, and no one knows who will be next.

An epic tale of both the devastating tragedies of war and the forbidden romance that blooms in its grip, In Memoriam is a breathtaking debut.

Very moving. And educational. I wasn’t very familiar with WWI, other than basic history. So this book was more than a gay love story; it was also educational, a history lesson, about the horrors of that particular war. It too a little getting into it because of all the British terms and society. But ultimately I really loved this. I think it goes in my list of top ten reads.

Brilliant. I cannot find the words to accurately describe how wonderful this novel is. It truly is a masterpiece of writing. The story, the characters, the WWI brutality and the loving relationship between two men is so well captured I was enthralled from beginning to end.

Fantastic. A truly gripping and fantastic read from start to finish. My life has been changed by this novel

Engrossing. Perfect combination of brutal British schoolboy hijinks with the fireworks (or shell bursts) of adolescent love, set against nothing less than the viscerally (literally) obscene violence of World War I. Maybe the prison hijinks went on a bit too long but it was a much needed relief from the stomach-turning horror of the trenches. Who in the world decided teenage boys automatically qualified to be military officers? Oh, right. Brilliant literary device also that makes the reader more of an active participant than expected. Read it in two days, will read again.
