The Officers' Ward
Author: Marc Dugain
It is autumn 1914, the first days of the Great War. At a hospital on the outskirts of Paris in a room without mirrors, a young lieutenant lies scarred, his face forever disfigured by a German shell. But he is not alone. Between bouts of surgery, he discovers that hope, humanity and humor can endure even there in the officers' ward.

A hauntingly beautiful book about the horrors of war and the long recoveries associated with all wars. This book is brief but right up there with "A Very Long Engagement" or "Birdsong" I waited a long time to read this novel and it is well worth the wait.
