Sometimes brutal, sometimes boring story of Stephen Wraysford and his life, mainly in France, before and during WW1. Not an easy read, certainly not a comfortable read. Some of the most brutally disturbing and shocking descriptions of life in the trenches during WW1 that I have ever read. Got quite emotional at the end.
