Through divergent experiences of working-class poverty, country house privilege, and the trenches of WWI, a boy comes of age in a rapidly changing world in an epic novel by the author of The Palace at the End of the Sea and The Room of Lost Steps.
London 1910. Adam Raine is a boy cursed by misfortune. Following his mother's tragic death, he moves north to Scarsdale, a hard-living coal-mining town, where his father finds work as a union organizer. But soon escalating tensions between the miners and their employer, Sir John Scarsdale, explode with terrible consequences. In the aftermath, Adam is taken into the Scarsdale family home, where Sir John's son Brice is his rival for the love of the parson's beautiful daughter. As Brice plots Adam's downfall, the country teeters on the edge of a war that will change everyone's lives forever.
From the gruelling workhouses of London to the suffocating Yorkshire mines, from the privilege and repression of an Edwardian country estate to the explosive trenches on the Western Front, Adam's journey from boy to man unfolds against the backdrop of a society violently entering the modern world.
No Man's Land is an epic coming-of-age novel about overcoming adversity through the power of love, hope, friendship, and an unyielding refusal to surrender.
Revised edition: This edition of No Man's Land includes editorial revisions.
