This story  and the fact a part of it actually happened  just  tore me up. The story was well writtten and was while a beautifully written story was oh so sad. Not all stories have to end in a happy ending but I was  glad to have read it. I felt so bad for the soldier that went through all his  planning and suffering in order to get back to his wife that he loved so very much. The story is short, but it is very powerful. I am a student of history and especiall military history but this story will have me looking into others that are written like  Mr. Carpenters . The story will be remembered  as one of a handful of very meaningful  stories of loved ones and those that they wait for. I recommend this book to everyone. To think that Encephalitis Lethargica actually happened and was forgotten due to other devastating events is very  tragic and for those that died and their families just sat and waited for a  medical or any kind of explanation explanation and never receiving one is not just sad but oh so very wrong.
