{"product_id":"the-triptych-robert-hall-9781035830169","title":"The Triptych","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough fiction, The Triptych is firmly based on incidents in the lives of three ordinary men from the Hall family. Spanning nearly a century, this vivid narrative interweaves the fates of three generations caught in the tumult of three key historical events: the 1855 Siege of Sebastopol during the Crimean War; the Expedition to rescue General Gordon in 1884-85; and the fierce Dodecanese Campaign of 1943.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile these stories form the triptych of the title, they are linked via the fate of a second triptych: an imaginary object bequeathed to James Hall by a dying Russian soldier. This passes repeatedly between the Halls and an Italian family, the Lassaros.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese stories bring to life the struggles of those who had no hand in the politics that sent them to battle yet bore the brunt of its consequences. From the brutal battlefields to the quiet courage that followed, their journeys highlight the personal costs of conflicts initiated by distant politicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarrated by a fourth-generation Hall in the twenty-first century, himself a former soldier, The Triptych offers a window into a family's legacy across a period marked by both volatility and violence. This novel is a tribute to the often unheralded resilience of ordinary people in times of conflict. Their lives paint a vivid triptych of quiet courage, endurance and the survival of the human spirit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1035830167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781035830169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Macauley Publishers Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Robert Hall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48872088862975,"sku":"9781035830169","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-triptych-robert-hall-9781035830169","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
