About the book

The Absolutist

“A moving and deeply felt tribute to a love that dared to speak its name." —André Aciman, author of Call Me by Your Name.

From the mega-bestselling author of The Heart’s Invisible Furies, a devastating story of forbidden passion and the costs of war.


In September 1919, twenty-one-year-old Tristan Sadler travels to Norwich under the guise of delivering a bundle of wartime letters to Marian Bancroft, the sister of his fallen comrade, Will. But the letters are merely a pretext—Tristan has come to unburden himself of a secret he has carried since the trenches of northern France.

As he recounts the horrors of the battlefield, Tristan reveals the deep, forbidden passion he shared with Will from their training days at Aldershot. Yet their bond was fractured when Will took an "absolutist" stance as a conscientious objector, refusing to fight or support the killing any longer. What followed was a tragic collision of jealousy, duty, and betrayal, culminating in an impossible choice that altered Tristan's life forever.

Revisiting the destructive nature of secrets and the devastating costs of war, John Boyne’s The Absolutist is a masterful, haunting novel of passion, moral courage, and fatal betrayal.
