Thanks Hamlet, BelleZora and Billi; I appreciate it!
I'm already feeling better than a few days ago.

Yes, quite the time, heh. Well I admit that I was hoping for some other book to win but, similar to Billi’s earlier observations, I do think that this makes a good bookend, paired with All Quiet on the Western Front from January, to the centennial year of the start of WWI. Also a good trifecta with Testament of Youth from midyear close to the anniversary; I like that they represent three separate country, culture and language perspectives.
ETA - I received a notice on the 29th that the book came in; will be starting soon.
