The Absolutist

September 1919. Der 21jährige Tristan Sadler reist nach Norwich, um einige Briefe an Marian Bancroft zu überbringen.

Eine Tatsache, die für die Familie Scham und Ehrverlust bedeutet. Doch die Briefe sind nicht der einzige Grund für Tristans Reise, er verbirgt ein Geheimnis, welches er Marian mitteilen muss, wenn er nur den Mut aufbringt. Ein tief bewegender Roman des Autors von 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'.
