"War changes everything. When war comes, it doesn’t just change your food, your clothes, and your home. It changes your beliefs, your dreams, and your understanding of the world. Swept up in a war he never thought would happen, Giuliano begins to question what he’s fighting for—if he’s even fighting for anything." -First Second

 

"...hard, human meditation on war and a society on the fringes of anomie..." -Kirkus Review
