I read this in year 11 (please dont be put off in any way by my age) at school and was completely blown away by it. Seriously-you HAVE to read this. The relationship is so emotional that you will find it difficult to put the book down. I wouldn't say this about any random book. The ending is so sad i cried for an hour.
DONT let this put you off-you HAVE TO READ IT!
My favorite WW1 book (so far...!)
Wonderful wonderful book - Rated
Strange Meeting is the story of two men meeting whilst serving together in WW1. It is a gently-paced, completely absorbing tale, with characters that draw you in as it progresses. It is one of the most beautiful and haunting books I have ever read - I first came across it at school, and have never forgotten it. Together with the Ghost Road trilogy by Pat Barker, this book is a remarkable fictional representation (both written by women) of the horrors of the trenches, but also the simple joys of friendship that can be discovered at the same time.
Strange Meeting - Rated
Absolutly fantastic book. I would strongly reccomend this book for A levelstudents as it gives a female perspective on war despite the patrioticvalues seen during WW1. The book is quite graphic and very hearwarming-a really excellent novel
True friendships are rare - Rated
Only if one was lucky enough to encounter or experience such a friendship, which, if at all, happens once in a lifetime, one can truly appreciate this book. The story could be in any setting and age, but the circumstances that this fictional friendship developed in make it all the more special.
One of the best books about WW1. - Rated
I happen to feel that Susan Hill shows what it was like to go to the first world war and it also happens to show how freindships were formed throught the times of difficulty. I have to read it for my wider reading and i happen to thoroughly enjoy the book. I did find it hard to get into at the start but once you have got past the first part then it gets better. Especially when Hillard goes back to the front and meets Barton. Their friendship happens to make it seem like you are there with them, in the loft or even when they are in the dug out. The ending is sad when you find that Hillard goes to see Barton's parents without him. Overall this is a good book and i would recomend it to anyone.
