Description

Set during the First World War, No Man's Land is a powerful Canadian historical novel that brings to life one of the darkest chapters in Newfoundland's history: the Battle of Beaumont-Hamel on July 1, 1916.

The story follows young soldiers of the Newfoundland Regiment as they prepare to leave their trenches and face the devastating battle ahead. Second Lieutenant Alan Hayward, fellow officer Clarke, and an underage private named Martin spend the final hours waiting for the signal to advance.

As they reflect on home, friendship, fear, and the uncertainty of what lies ahead, the tension builds toward the terrible events of battle. Through their experiences, Kevin Major explores the courage, companionship, and human cost of war.
