(2) YA It's early in the Iraq War and soldiers are training in the Northumberland countryside--where young Liam finds an abandoned baby. Almond creates a complex, inspired swirl of seemingly disparate elements, including in the mix a Liberian refugee. Despite all the violence, the story has a sweetness to it, fostered by the hope that humans can "help the angel in us overcome the beast."
