Description

The epic story of war and medicine from the award-winning author of The Piano Tuner is "a dream of a novel...part mystery, part war story, part romance" (Anthony Doerr, author of All the Light We Cannot See).

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, expecting a position at a well-organized field hospital. But when he arrives, at a commandeered church tucked away high in a remote valley of the Carpathian Mountains, he finds a freezing outpost ravaged by typhus. The other doctors have fled, and only a single, mysterious nurse named Sister Margarete remains.

But Lucius has never lifted a surgeon's scalpel. And as the war rages across the winter landscape, he finds himself falling in love with the woman 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 lives of doctor, patient, and nurse forever.

From the gilded ballrooms of Imperial Vienna to the frozen forests of the Eastern Front; from hardscrabble operating rooms to battlefields thundering with Cossack cavalry, The Winter Soldier is the story of war and medicine, of family, of finding love in the sweeping tides of history, and finally, of the mistakes we make, and the precious opportunities to atone.

"The Winter Soldier brims with improbable narrative pleasures...These pages crackle with excitement... A spectacular success."—Anthony Marra, New York Times Book Review

Ce que les critiques en disent

"With a physician's precision and an artist's eye, author Daniel Mason captures the emotional and physical upheaval wrought by war. Right from the start, the novel thrums with tension, whisking the reader into the fray...With striking prose and an unencumbered pace, The Winter Soldier makes for a uniquely compelling read." (Melissa Brown, Booklist)

"In The Winter Soldier, Daniel Mason achieves a deeply affecting balancing act, drawing us into the crushing agony of war while simultaneously stirring our hearts with an inspired and touching love story." (Georgia Hunter, best-selling author of We Were the Lucky Ones)

"The Winter Soldier held me by the throat from the first lyrical page to the last. A story which manages to be as original as it is timeless, and above all, credible." (Emma Donoghue, author of the national best-seller Room)

Enjoyable historical fiction

I’m a sucker for historical war fiction. This one is set in Austria and Eastern Europe and follows the story of a Polish medical student who suddenly finds himself as the only doctor in small field hospital after WWI breaks out. Perhaps a few sections could have been sped along a bit quicker, but overall I enjoyed the attention to detail with regards to both the medical and military aspects of the story. I'm not a medical person, but I found it very realistic. The author does a wonderful job of describing the setting of certain passages of the story. You can really picture yourself in the scene. This is not a typical swashbuckling military fiction. The pace can be slow at times and the story mostly concerns relationships.

Epic Quest of Unrequited Love set in WWI

A compelling story of love set in the horrors of the Great War in Central Europe! The longer you read or listen, the more you need to find out how things turn out. Solidly read with a beautifully woven storyline, vivid descriptions of the conditions of war and the beautiful setting of the Carpathian mountains, within broader themes of generational and class struggle, ptsd, humans as pawns in the hands of the powerful, and humanity thriving in spite of inhumanity. enjoy!
