En la Inglaterra victoriana, George Hardy, un cirujano y fotógrafo enigmático, decide ofrecer sus servicios en la Guerra de Crimea. Tras él, se embarca un pequeño grupo de seguidores devotos: Myrtle, su hermana adoptiva; el geólogo Dr. Potter; y Pompey Jones, asistente de fotógrafo. Todos ellos se ven impulsados por una culpa compartida a través de un conflicto bélico lleno de muerte y miseria. Beryl Bainbridge expone a su héroe con ternura y sin reservas, revelando la crudeza de la guerra en una novela de gran profundidad e intensidad.
