Product info
"<i>The </i><i>Verdun Affair</i> is ravishingly beautiful, and as much about love as about war. Nick Dybek is a storyteller of great power. I found myself drawn in immediately, believing the place, the characters, <i>everything</i> in his magnificently woven story. If there's any justice, this novel will be widely read and recognized. I absolutely adored it."<br> <b>--Paula McLain, author of <i>The Paris Wife</i> and <i>Circling the Sun</i></b> <p/> "Sometimes the true battle begins only after the fighting is over. In this case, it's the struggle to regain feeling, memory, and love in a landscape where verdancy can flourish again over graves and trenches and bones, but not over the craters of a wounded spirit. In the end, only a story can do that, but it must be as rich and poignant and compelling as Nick Dybek's immersive and atmospheric <i>The Verdun Affair</i>. The meaning in life often goes AWOL, and we look to our great writers--writers like Nick Dybek--to bring it back."<br> <b>--Adam Johnson, author of <i>The Orphan Master's Son </i>and <i>Fortune Smiles</i></b> <p/> <i>"The Verdun Affair</i> is an intensely gripping story set in the immediate aftermath of war. From a still-smoldering battlefield, Nick Dybek conjures a sweeping saga of secrets, lies, mistaken identity, love and betrayal. This is the kind of book you can't put down."<br> --<b>Claire Vaye Watkins, author of <i>Gold Fame Citrus</i> and <i>Battleborn</i></b> <p/> "<i>The Verdun Affair</i> is a masterful, sweeping novel of love and war and the way we reconstruct ourselves and our stories after everything has come apart. Nick Dybek is a vivid storyteller, and this is a beautiful and exciting book."<br> --<b>Ramona Ausubel, author of <i>Sons and Daughters of Ease and Plenty </i>and<i> No One is Here Except all of Us</i></b> <p/> "I am still haunted by the images of war so deftly conjured in the midst of an elegiac love story. Dybek writes with a commanding sense of story and language. This novel will not let you go."<br> <b>--Helen Simonson, author of <i>Major Pettigrew's Last Stand </i>and<i> The Summer Before The War</i></b> <p/> "Love, war, the mysteries of who we are -- it's all in <i>The Verdun Affair</i>. A masterful novel that will fizz your brain and enchant your heart."<br> --<b>David Ebershoff, author of <i>The Danish Girl </i>and<i> The 19th Wife</i></b> <p/> "A haunting, beautiful, and wholly absorbing book, that is at once a gripping story of war, a poignant coming of age, and a bittersweet romance. Dybek conjures the time period with elegance and visceral detail. I didn't want it to end!"<br> <b>--Madeline Miller, author of <i>The Song of Achilles</i> and <i>Circe</i></b>
