The Dust That Falls from Dreams by Louis De Bernieres

The Edwardian era has just begun, and in the idyllic countryside outside of London, young Rosie McCosh and her three sisters are growing up inseparable from their neighbors, the two Pitt brothers and the three Pendennis boys. But twelve years later, the outbreak of World War I brings their days of youthful camaraderie to an abrupt end. In the years that follow, these childhood pals will be scattered across Europe--from the trenches of France to the British hospitals where the McCosh sisters serve. Some will lose their lives, some their loved ones, some their faith--and all of them will lose their innocence. At the center of their stories, always, is Rosie--in love with one of her childhood friends and beloved by another--facing the collapse of the world she has always known, and the birth of another from its ashes. A sumptuous, sweeping, powerfully moving work of fiction, The Dust That Falls from Dreams is a story of profound loss and indelible hope.

Louis de Bernieres is the author of, among other novels, The Dust That Falls From Dreams, A Partisan's Daughter, Birds Without Wings, Corelli's Mandolin, The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman, Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord, and The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts. Selected by Granta as one of the 20 Best Young British Novelists in 1993, de Bernieres lives in London.
