From a village in Nova Scotia to the trenches of France, P. S. Duffy’s astonishing debut showcases a rare talent emerging in midlife.
When his beloved brother-in-law goes missing at the front in 1916, Angus defies his pacifist upbringing to join the war and find him. Assured a position as a cartographer in London, he is instead sent directly into battle. Meanwhile, at home, his son Simon Peter must navigate escalating hostility in a town torn by grief. Selected as both a Barnes Noble Discover pick and one of the American Bookseller Association’s Debut Dozen, *The Cartographer of No Man’s Land* offers a soulful portrayal of World War I and the lives that were forever changed by it, both on the battlefield and at home.
