Description

'Beautifully written and sensitively observed' — Hazel Gaynor, author, The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter 'Beautifully written and thought-provoking' — Ruth Hogan, author, The Keeper of Lost Things INSPIRED BY ONE OF THE LAST GREAT UNTOLD STORIES OF WW1 1916. Young artist Sam Burke is spared death by firing squad on the battlefields of France and brought to a remote castle by the Irish Sea. At the "Tin Nose Shop" he is tasked with creating intricate masks to hide the mutilated faces of his fellow soldiers from the Front. While he tries to come to terms with the death of his best friend and the promise he failed to keep, Sam and the disfigured soldiers struggle to return to their former lives and their loved ones. A stirring and emotional tale based on the real-life story of the Tin Nose Shop. 'Will both break your heart and give it wings as it explores the healing powers of friendship, love, hope and purpose' — Robin Wells, author, She Gets That From Me 'One of the best historical novels I have read in a long time... I have never read anything quite like it' — Mark Sullivan, author, Beneath a Scarlet Sky 'There are many novels based on the events of World War I; this one has to be among the most compassionate and moving.' — Historical Novel Society 'A soul-searing glimpse into the brutality of war and indomitability of the human spirit. Fast-paced and vivid, this novel about World War I will both break your heart and give it wings as it explores the healing powers of friendship, love, hope and purpose.' — Robin Wells, author of The French War Bride 'A beautifully written and thought-provoking tale — one I will definitely remember. A great read.' — Ruth Hogan author of The Keeper of Lost Things 'Beautifully written and sensitively observed, The Tin Nose Shop is an emotionally stirring novel that doesn't shy away from addressing the horrors of war whilst also amplifying the humanity and hope of those affected by it. Told from a unique and refreshing perspective, this is an important addition to Great War fiction. A thoroughly engrossing read which I couldn't put down.' — Hazel Gaynor, New York Times, USA Today and Irish Times Bestselling author of The Lighthouse Keeper
