“A novel of immeasurable sadness, in a league with Graham Greene’s The End of the Affair . John Boyne is very, very good at portraying the destructive power of a painfully kept secret.”
— John Irving
A masterfully told tale of passion, jealousy, heroism and betrayal set in the gruesome trenches of World War I.
It is September 1919: twenty-one-year-old Tristan Sadler takes a train from London to Norwich to deliver a package of letters to the sister of Will Bancroft, the man he fought alongside during the Great War.
But the letters are not the real reason for Tristan's visit. He can no longer keep a secret and has finally found the courage to unburden himself of it. As Tristan recounts the horrific details of what to him became a senseless war, he also speaks of his friendship with Will--from their first meeting on the training grounds at Aldershot to their farewell in the trenches of northern France. The intensity of their bond brought Tristan happiness and self-discovery as well as confusion and unbearable pain.
The Absolutist is a masterful tale of passion, jealousy, heroism, and betrayal set in one of the most gruesome trenches of France during World War I. This novel will keep readers on the edge of their seats until its most extraordinary and unexpected conclusion, and will stay with them long after they've turned the last page.

很不幸,一个已经确定一辈子不结婚的懦夫拿到了这本书。北京的深秋,拥挤骚臭的地铁,被迫勾心斗角的忐忑生存。电梯门颓丧的打开,悻然跨过好邻居依然无情赠送的一大袋垃圾,突然觉得人生好可怕。毫无气力的拉开铁门,躺在那里迎接自己的,就是这本书了。越是觉得现实无可救药...

第一本有声书 不见到文字版本 所以不知道是不是删减版
评分没想到是《穿条纹睡衣的男孩》的作者。伤感啊伤感
评分最后四十页比较出色。总体感觉铺垫不足
评分这么悲剧的故事,适合在看不到希望的时候读,才能切身体会。
评分俗套地令人心寒,结尾本来还想再扣一星的,算了。
