The Whistlers' Room: A Novel (Casemate Classic War Fiction)

An â€œextremely atmospheric and poignantâ€ novel of wounds that never heal and lives forever scarred by World War I (Books Monthly).
Â
Theyâ€™re called Whistlersâ€”residents of a German hospital who have all been wounded in the throat, and whose every breath is punctuated with a high-pitched whistle.
Â
One young soldier, Pointner, has no hope for recovery. His only solace comes from the British sniperâ€™s cap he keeps as a trophy. Fellow casualty Kollin clings to the belief that he will be whole again. When an unlikely comrade joins them in the wardâ€”the Englishman Harry, similarly injured but separated by allegianceâ€”they find themselves bound, beyond the countries and crowns that have forgotten them, not only by their wounds but also by their common humanity.
