Telling the story of young Englishman Stephen Wraysford, the stunning novel follows the strange and bitter man on his journey to Picardy, France, to learn about the textile business. While there, he plunges into a love affair with the wife of his host that changes him forever. His journey continues onto the Western Front as a soldier during World War I, although Stephen still manages to find hope and meaning even in this situation. Sixty years later, his granddaughter discovers, and keeps, Stephen's promise to a dying man.
