Synopsis "In Memoriam"

It's 1914, and talk of war feels far away to Henry Gaunt, Sidney Ellwood and the rest of their classmates, safely ensconced in an idyllic boarding school in the English countryside. At seventeen, they're too young to enlist, and anyway, Gaunt is fighting his own private battle - an all-consuming infatuation with his best friend, the dreamy, poetic Ellwood - not having a clue that Ellwood is in love with him, always has been. When Gaunt's German mother asks him to enlist in the British army to protect the family from anti-German attacks, he signs up immediately, relieved to escape his overwhelming feelings for Ellwood.

The front is horrific, of course, and though Gaunt tries to dissuade Ellwood from joining him on the battlefield, Ellwood soon rushes to join him. In the trenches, Ellwood and Gaunt find fleeting moments of solace in one another, but their friends are all dying, right in front of them, and at any moment they could be next.

An epic tale of both the devastating tragedies of war and the forbidden romance that blooms in its grip, In Memoriam is a breathtaking debut.

¡Yo viví esa guerra junto a Gaunt y Ellwood! Hubo momentos donde tenía que parar la lectura porque mi corazón se lastimaba junto a los personajes. No hay capítulo que termine sin dejarte con ganas de saber qué más pasará. No es solo un libro de romance, es un recordatorio de lo crueles y frías que son las guerras, cómo afectan física y psicológicamente a las personas y cómo quien sobrevive no vuelve jamás a ser la misma persona que era antes.

Los portagonistas son memorables, la construccion y uso de las cartas y periodicos se aprovecho muy bien, a prosa es simple y directa a mi opinion para no romantizar la guerra y hacernos sentir lo rapido y doloroso de las situaciones que viven los protagonistas. Diria que tiene cosas por mejorar, pero no que esten mal hechas. Fue una maravilla leerlo.

Muuuuy malo y cliché. Se desaprovechó la oportunidad para desarrollar una buena historia, pero a la autora le importó más enfatizar lo atractivos que eran los protagonistas y el morbo. Decepción total.
