Strange Meeting

A heart-rending tale of friendship in wartime that deserves a place on the shelf beside the great books of wartime literature. The trenches of the Western Front are the setting for this story of the extraordinary devotion that develops between silent, morose John Hillard, full of war's futility, and his as yet unscathed trench mate, David Barton. The lyrical beauty of Hill's narrative draws the reader in and doesn't let go. This little novel is a gem, compelling and moving, a treat for all readers of fiction.
