Join Barney Campbell on Tuesday 15th April, 7pm as he discusses his heartbreaking portrayal of friendship forged in the trenches, The Fires of Gallipoli. Edward Salter is a shy, reserved lawyer whose life is transformed by the outbreak of war in 1914. On his way to fight in the Gallipoli campaign, he befriends the charming and quietly courageous Theodore Thorne. Together they face the carnage and slaughter, stripped bare to their souls by the hellscape and only sustained by each other and the moments of quiet they catch together. Thorne becomes the crutch whom Edward relies on throughout the fighting. When their precious leave from the frontline coincides, Theo invites Edward to his parents’ idyllic estate in Northamptonshire. Here Edward meets Thorne’s sister Miranda and becomes entranced by her. Edward escapes the broiling, fetid charnel-house of Gallipoli to work on the staff of Lord Kitchener, then on to the Western Front and post-war espionage in Constantinople. An odd coolness has descended between Edward and Theo. Can their friendship survive at the end of the war when everything around them is corrupted and destroyed? The Fires of Gallipoli is a heartbreaking, sweeping portrayal of friendship and its fragility at the very limits of humanity.

Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

Edinburgh Castle is really beautiful, mainly because of the great weather. It takes two to three hours to walk around, and it will be faster if you walk quickly. After entering, you can use the voucher number provided by Ctrip to exchange for a paper ticket. You can rent an interpreter for 3.5 pounds and enter the corresponding number of the attraction to listen.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

leotiger

Holly Luther Palace is worth a visit. When time permits, you must see Queen Mary&#39;s Palace in Scotland. It is still the place where the royal family holds a garden party in the summer. It overlooks the throne of Arthur. The order of visits inside the palace is very reasonable. With the introduction in the headset, immersive feeling the heavy atmosphere of history! !

The Scotch Whisky Experience

I have been here more than ten years ago, and this time I come again is not the same as before. There are a lot of high-tech things, but a lot less original and the most original. If you have time, you can experience it. There are interpreters in various languages, real-time, and translation with the rhythm of the on-site tour guide, which is very convenient. You can also choose a whiskey.

Edinburgh Old Town

Edinburgh&rsquo;s Old Town is a captivating destination full of history, character, and charm. With its cobbled streets, medieval architecture, and hidden closes, it feels like stepping back in time. The Royal Mile, stretching from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, is lined with shops, restaurants, and historic sites. Attractions like St Giles&rsquo; Cathedral and the Scotch Whisky Experience offer rich cultural experiences. While it can be crowded during peak times, especially during the Edi

It&#39;s really not one of the most romantic sunsets. I&#39;ve been here, cold shock but beautiful shock! Multiple celebrity business cards will not be repeated one by one. But my only deepest experience is the lyric, &quot;The castle is keeping secrets for love, and I am keeping memories for you&quot; I didn&#39;t think the song was romantic until I climbed to the top of Carlton ⛰️ It was really speechless and beautiful! ! I really like this light blue gentle dusk ～～ Thanks for a little embers near sunset that day, let me see the light blue light orange sky boundary in the distance, really the ultimate romance ～～ constantly touching me ✨💕🌹 recommend this ultimate romantic, must go? [View] Medieval dusk 🌆, the only ❤️ in the world
