Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo
Tommo and Charlie leave their village life far behind when they become soldiers during the First World War. Over the course of one night Tommo looks back at his happy childhood, aware that each passing hour brings him closer to the morning and an event he can hardly bear to think about.

Really good, one of the best. Really captures life in WWI. Very descriptive with feelings. Differs from usual wartime novels as it is not boring.
Rating: 9/10
