"Darkening Stars - A Novel of the Great War" is about a young law student who
was drafted to serve as a platoon commander in the Portuguese Expeditionary
Corps sent to Flanders in 1917. What happened to him and the men under his
command, the small and great miseries of their life in the trenches, their
links with what they left behind and what they lost, and the incomprehension
they met upon returning home, are some of the main lines of this moving and
historically accurate portrait of one of the most turbulent periods of
Portuguese history. It is also a story of love and of a young man’s inner
struggles and personal growth, his determined search for peace and happiness,
along a path strewn with destruction and trampled dreams.
