Product Information
"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, National Book Award-winning author of The Cider House Rules 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.

Reviews
"John Boyne has produced a gripping, superbly plotted novel, filled with surprises that are by turns confounding, disturbing and tremendously moving. For all its spellbinding narrative momentum, The Absolutist is, in the end, a sober meditation on the heartbreak that ensues when people and principles collide." -Paul Russell, author of The Unreal Life of Sergey Nabokov "A relentlessly tragic yet beautifully crafted novel." Publishers Weekly "A thought-provoking and surprising page-turner that for some readers may recall Ian McEwan's Atonement ."- Reba Leiding, Library Journal, "John Boyne has produced a gripping, superbly plotted novel, filled with surprises that are by turns confounding, disturbing and tremendously moving.

This will become a classic war novel." -The Bookseller "John Boyne brings a completely fresh eye to the most important stories. He is one of the great craftsmen in contemporary literature." -Colum McCann "A wonderful, sad, tender book that is going to have an enormous impact on everyone who reads it." -Colm Toibin "Political, personal, powerful...a fiercely interrogative novel that asks not just what it means to be a man but also what it means to be a human being in the extreme circumstances of war." -Irish Times "(In) Boyne's fiction, there's a sense that people are fundamentally the sum of their traumas...Boyne's narrative grip is strong." - Literary Review, "John Boyne has produced a gripping, superbly plotted novel, filled with surprises that are by turns confounding, disturbing and tremendously moving.

Boyne conveys the period accurately and elegantly, but the characters-specifically Tristan, who narrates-are the stars. This isn't a novel about WWI; it's a novel about the unique horror of one man's experience, and Boyne makes every word count." - BookPage "An outstanding read, very highly recommended." -Historical Novel Society "What begins as a slow-building World War I period piece…grows deeper, more curious, and uneasy as it progresses--and midway through this sad and beautiful story, you realize you're in the hands of a quiet master. Piling questions atop half-truths, John Boyne…has crafted a taut and tragic tale of love and war, with a kick-in-the-gut ending" Amazon (Amazon's Best Books of the Month list) "You will hold your breath, you will smile, and you may cry, but when it's all said and done the story will end as it was always meant to." Examiner "What is most memorable here is the timelessly doomed relationship between Tristan and Will, marked by tenderness and confusion and cruelty in the face of their own internalized repression, as British as it is of its time. This is a wonderfully crafted tragedy that will stay with the reader for days." The Daily Beast (Hot Read) " The Absolutist needs to be read, for society always needs to be reminded that war and civilization are mutually exclusive, and that if we still have war, then we're not yet civilized." The Coffin Factory "This story…can be darkly graphic and emotionally brutal. An outstanding, thought-provoking look at the passionate choices we make, and how we react to life-changing situations. Much recommended for all readers, five full stars out of five." Yahoo (Editor's pick of the month) "In this relentlessly tragic yet beautifully crafted novel, Boyne documents the lives of two inseparable men navigating the trenches of WWI and the ramifications of a taboo involvement." Publisher's Weekly "Poetic, passionate, and poignant, The Absolutist is about self-discovery, friendship, and how far bravery can take us." Interview Magazine " The Absolutist is a slim, tightly wound novel of love and disaster." The Millions "A powerful story about love, hate, courage, guilt and war where nothing is simple and everything might not be as it seems." Shelf Awareness
