In 1910 a lonely young Englishman has been sent by his employer to study the textile trade in Amiens.   He embarks on a passionate love affair with the wife of the man in whose house he is renting a room.   By 1916 Stephen has become a lieutenant and France is a battlefield.   A powerful tale of love and war; as haunting in its description of a young couple’s brief, passionate affair as it is devastating in its depiction of the monstrosities of trench warfare.
