Corporal Hitler's Pistol (eBook, ePUB)

Winner of the 2022 ARA Historical Novel Prize

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Corporal Hitler's Pistol is a richly imagined and vivid novel that moves the reader skilfully from WWI to the Irish Civil War, from rural Kempsey to Sydney and County Kerry during the first half and more of the 20th century. It is a novel that shows the impacts of the larger history of the world on individual lives and local histories, that tells of brutal wars and their wounds-whether felt on the skin or beneath-as brought home.
