This publication of the novel The Lost Thoughts of Soldiers, complete with a selection of her prize-winning stories, confirms Delia Falconer's reputation as a dazzling writer of extraordinary range.

The Lost Thoughts of Soldiers explores death and dying, friendship, longing, loss and a nation's preoccupation with celebrity. As Captain Frederick Benteen, a soldier in Custer's Seventh Cavalry, looks back on his life over the space of a single morning, he thinks about our urge to go to war and the price we pay.

Collected here for the first time, Falconer's acclaimed and much-loved stories continue her preoccupation with passion, beauty, dreams and death, and the secret desires of men and women.
