Looking at the Moon: Guests of War is a gripping and atmospheric novel that explores the psychological and emotional toll of war. Set in the aftermath of World War II, the story follows a group of British soldiers who are haunted by their experiences on the battlefield.

The soldiers are all members of the same regiment, and they have fought together through some of the most brutal fighting of the war. They have seen their friends die, and they have been forced to commit acts of violence that they never thought they were capable of. Now, they are back home, but they are not the same men they were before the war. They are haunted by nightmares, flashbacks, and a deep sense of guilt and shame.

The soldiers try to resume their normal lives, but they find it impossible to forget what they have seen and done. They are alienated from their families and friends, and they are unable to hold down jobs. They are lost and alone, and they feel like they are living in a world that no longer makes sense.

One day, the soldiers receive a letter from a woman who claims to have been a prisoner of war in the same camp as them. She tells them that she has information about what happened to their missing comrade, and she asks them to meet her to discuss it.

The soldiers are hesitant to believe the woman, but they eventually agree to meet her. They travel to a remote village, and they find the woman waiting for them in a small cottage.

The woman tells the soldiers that their comrade was captured by the Germans and taken to a concentration camp. She says that he was tortured and killed, and that his body was never found.

The soldiers are devastated by the news. They had always hoped that their comrade was still alive, and they had never given up searching for him. Now, they know that he is dead, and they are filled with grief and anger.

The soldiers return home, but they are changed men. They are even more haunted by the war than they were before, and they are unable to find peace. They are living ghosts, and they are doomed to wander the earth forever, looking for a home that they will never find.

Looking at the Moon: Guests of War is a powerful and moving novel that explores the lasting effects of war. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
