From a hardscrabble village in Nova Scotia to the collapsing trenches of France, a debut book about a family divided by World Conflict I. Inside the tradition of Robert Goolrick's A Reliable Partner and Karl Marlantes's Matterhorn, P. S. Duffy's amazing debut showcases a unusual and instinctive talent appearing in midlife. Her book leaps over the Atlantic, between a daddy at warfare and a boy coming of age at home without him. When his precious brother-in-law goes absent at the front end in 1916, Angus defies his pacifist upbringing to join the war and find him. Assured a position as a cartographer in London, he's instead sent straight into the visceral distress of battle. In the meantime, at home, his boy, Simon Peter, must find their way escalating hostility in a fishing village torn by grief. Together with the intimacy of The Track of Achilles and the epic range of The Invisible Bridge, The Cartographer of No Man's Land offers a soulful portrayal of World Conflict I and the lives that were forever changed because of it, both on the battlefield and at home.
