The Cloud Atlas by Liam Callanan
is written in a style comparable to Charles Dickens with Chaucer editing over his shoulder.
Nowhere as yet, have I a found a World War II
soldier. As an avid reader, I found this book

century New Zealand.
Although it would appear to be clever of the writer to speak in the vernacular of the local and time frame, it makes the story more of a linguistic puzzle than an entertaining tale.
