书籍简介

这是一部精彩绝伦的小说，讲述的是第一次世界大战，一个男孩站在前线，回忆起了童年。包括After Words奖金功能。

敌人潜伏在黑暗中，托马斯彻夜难眠。他经历了毒气袭击的恐怖，看着朋友们在他身边死去。但到了早上，托马斯将被迫面对更大的恐惧。时间一分一秒地过去，托马斯回忆起了他在乡下度过的童年，和他的母亲、兄弟们以及他一生的挚爱莫莉一起度过。但每过一分钟，托马斯就会更接近一些他无法忍受去思考的事情——战争及其可怕后果将永远改变他生活的那一刻。

From the Children's Laureate of England, a stunning novel of the First World War, a boy who is on its front lines, and a childhood remembered. Includes After Words bonus features.

As the enemy lurks in the darkness, Thomas struggles to stay awake through the night. He has lived through the terror of gas attacks and watched friends die by his side. But in the morning, Thomas will be forced to confront an even greater horror. As the minutes tick by, Thomas remembers his childhood spent deep in the countryside with his mother, his brothers, and Molly, the love of his life. But each minute that passes brings Thomas closer to something he can't bear to to think about--the moment when the war and its horrific consequences will change his life forever.
