“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.

沒想到是《穿條紋睡衣的男孩》的作者。傷感啊傷感
評分Audiobook read by Michael Maloney。幾乎是一口氣聽下來的,敘事和懸念設置都十分引人入勝,人物形象塑造不太夠火候,過於平麵化,但也無傷大雅,算是一本好書瞭。Will的結局真是虐到我,這樣一個為瞭原則連死都不怕的人,終還是有能夠傷到他的東西的。
評分好久沒讀這麼激動的書瞭
評分結局過於爛俗
評分Audiobook read by Blake Ritson.網上都找不到電子版的原作,再加上有刪節,大概有些細節遺漏瞭。不過光是聽到的部分已經夠虐心夠壓抑瞭,這個故事竟然沒有拍成電影而且書也沒啥知名度??兩個人都是愛過彼此的吧,因為時局艱難和自身抗拒纔錯過瞭,身不由己的傷感。
