A harrowing and beautiful novel, demonstrating -- again -- that Patricia Anthony is one of our great writers. -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>In this gritty look at World War I's trench warfare, a young American sharpshooter ventures into no man's land each night to be ready by daybreak for the grim business of slaying record numbers of enemies. But Travis Lee Stanhope, a Texan serving with an English unit, is haunted by ghosts of the men he's killed as well as those of his fallen comrades. As he hovers on the brink of a transcendent experience, Travis gradually realizes that although he is surrounded by death, his true mission is related to life.<br>A <i>New York Times</i> and American Library Association Notable Book, this tale was acclaimed by <i>Booklist</i> as a haunting, sometimes almost hallucinatory, yet surprising war novel and by <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> as mesmerizing ... highly textured and brimming with insight. <p/><i>Flanders</i> ranks close to <i>All Quiet on the Western Front</i> in its impact. -- <i>San Francisco Chronicle</i> <p/>Anthony's subtle and innovative storytelling reaches a new plane in her latest novel, a foray into magical realism that contrasts the waking hell of war with the fragile peace of eternity. -- <i>Library Journal</i>
