From the Publisher:
In 1915 England, a young widow, grieving over the loss of her husband in battle, finds her peace shattered when her estate is transformed into a military hospital, but she finds solace in the person of a soldier whose face is concealed by bandages. |
Annotation:
After Catherine's husband dies in World War I, she obeys his last wish and converts their British estate to an army hospital for wounded soldiers. Soon the grounds are filled with disfigured men, and Catherine's unease is heightened by suspicions that her husband is actually one of the maimed men, his face changed beyond recognition. This taut and eerie novel climaxes in a bold attempt by a surgeon and an artist to create a new face for him.
