Publisher's Summary
First published anonymously in 1929 because its language was considered far too frank for the public circulation, The Middle Parts of Fortune was hailed by T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, by Lawrence of Arabia and Ernest Hemingway, as an extraordinary novel. Its author was in fact Frederic Manning, an Australian writer who fought in the Battle of the Somme in 1916, and who told his story of men at war from the perspective of an ordinary soldier.
Never before published in Australia, The Middle Parts of Fortune is now recognized as a 20th-century classic.

Excellent novel on WW1
Memorable book written from the ordinary soldiers view. It is simply magnificent in its understanding of a soldier's life on the front line.

Waiting to 'go over'
Listened to the end, therefore I recommend. The narrator spoke the soldiers' accents very well. The story gave me an understanding of the WW1 British soldier experience. Very solemn, fun times too, waiting to 'go over' a big part.
