More about the book

The narrative explores the profound friendship between war poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, set against the backdrop of World War I's brutal realities. Both men, grappling with their roles as soldiers and their experiences of trauma, find solace and inspiration at Craiglockhart War Hospital. Their bond fosters artistic expression while illuminating the psychological toll of modern warfare, particularly the emergence of PTSD. Through their journeys and the era's literary response, the book reveals how creativity serves as a means to process and understand the horrors of conflict.
