Acclaimed as Waterstones Novel of the Year and British Book Awards Debut of the Year, this Sunday Times bestseller has captivated readers and critics alike. Bonnie Garmus, author of 'Lessons in Chemistry', declares it a must-read, whilst Elizabeth Day urges readers to "rush out and buy it".

The year is 1914, and the looming spectre of war seems distant to young Henry Gaunt and Sidney Ellwood. Too youthful to enlist, Gaunt grapples with an overwhelming infatuation for the poetic Ellwood, oblivious to his best friend's reciprocal feelings. When Gaunt's mother prompts him to sign up, he seizes the opportunity to flee his conflicting emotions. However, Ellwood and their schoolmates soon follow suit, finding themselves thrust into the brutal reality of the trenches.

Amidst the chaos of conflict, Gaunt and Ellwood discover a profound connection. Yet, as swiftly as war brings them together, it threatens to tear them asunder. 'In Memoriam' is a breathtaking debut that weaves an unforgettable tale of love between two soldiers against the harrowing backdrop of the First World War.

Hailed as "Birdsong for a new generation" by Joanna Quinn, this gripping page-turner has been lauded by the Sunday Telegraph for its captivating love story. Maggie O'Farrell, author of 'Hamnet', praises its assured and moving narrative, while the Daily Mail warns it will "smash your heart to smithereens". Alice Winn's 'In Memoriam' is a tour de force that has rightfully claimed its place as a top five Sunday Times bestseller.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
