The Warm Hands of Ghosts

by Katherine Arden

DelRey Books/PRH

    This is a beautifully written novel of WWI - a nurse who has returned, injured, from the war and loses most of her family in the Great Halifax Explosion chooses to return to the war to try to find her younger brother.  The war scenes in the trenches and the hospitals are described in chilling detail, as is the depiction of evil as a force that destroys souls - this is not a book you'll soon forget.

    We don't get anti-war novels quite as beautifully done as this.
