<b>'Part mystery, part war story, part romance, <b><i>The Winter Soldier</b></i> is a dream of a novel' – Anthony Doerr, author of <b><i>All The Light We Cannot See.</b></i></b>
<b>
From the bestselling author of <b><i>The Piano Tuner</b></i>, comes Daniel Mason's <b><i>The Winter Soldier</b></i>, a story of love and medicine through the devastation of the First World War.</b>
Vienna, 1914. Lucius is a twenty-two-year-old medical student when World War I explodes across Europe. Enraptured by romantic tales of battlefield surgery, he enlists, only to find himself posted to a remote field-hospital ravaged by typhus. Supplies have all but run out, the other doctors have fled, and only a single nurse remains, from whom he must learn a brutal, makeshift medicine.
Then one day, an unconscious soldier is brought in from the snow, his uniform stuffed with strange drawings. He seems beyond rescue, until Lucius makes a fateful decision that will change the course of his life.
From the gilded ballrooms of Imperial Vienna to the frozen forests of the Eastern Front, <b><i>The Winter Soldier </b></i>is the story of finding love in the sweeping tides of history, and of the mistakes we make and the precious opportunities to atone.
