Praise for this book
"Part mystery, part war story, part romance, The Winter Soldier is a dream of a novel." - Anthony Doerr
"So real, so rich and detailed, that the room in which I was reading vanished. I was transported to a lost world of the past. Suspenseful, thrilling, aching with emotion. Living with Lucius and Margarete, it was First World War as I have never felt it." - Andrew Sean Greer
