Cartographer of No Man's Land



The Cartographer of No Man's Land by P.S. Duffy is a well-researched novel of World War I.  The main characters are from Nova Scotia and are drawn into the war, sometimes reluctantly, at home and abroad.  It is realistic about the horrors of war and the complexities of loyalty and relationships.  It also deals with waht happens after the Armistice and how broken lives are--and are not put back togther.  The writing is vivid and also poetic and spiritual at times.  I highly recommend this book.
