From the rear cover
A modern classic, The Impostor is a 'hymn to the cult of youth' set against the chaos and the trenches of the First World War. Guillaume Thomas, restless and hungry for adventure learns just how much can be gained by lying. At sixteen, he is too young to fight but, borrowing a noble ancestry and a few extra years, he becomes a soldier. In this guise he meets the Princesse de Bormes and her impressionable daughter Henriette. While the princess seeks charity work and Henriette falls in love, Guillaume pursues his fantasy and dies a soldier's death.
