Show & Tell Sunday

This months Show & Tell is your favourite book.

Everyone will have something different as books are very personal.
If you've been reading my blog for a while you'll know my taste in books is not very girly!!! I don't like romantic books....although saying that I have read a few.

For me I only have one favourite book

Have you read it?

It was published in 1994, not very well known it became popular through word of month. I purchased it in 1995.....it had a different cover then which I prefer.

I can't tell you how many time I've read this over the last 15 years.....for several years I read it once a year!!!..... it's such a beautiful book.
I can't remember being taught this at school, I knew a lot about WW2 but nothing about WW1.

The horrors are all in this book......the man who has to go to No Man's Land to collect his brother. When he picks him up his hand goes through the flesh.
Oh yes it's not a pleasant read, I cry every time!

Since reading this I've travelled to WW1 cemeteries & seen the Mien Gate, something that I'm sure I would never have done. As I've said before on my blog it's up to us youngsters.....oh I like that....... to pass this information on.

Next month I would like to pass the baton to someone else......any takers???
