English Summary/英文概要: On the eve of WWI, two students fall in love in Harvard’s hallowed halls and must face a world at war from opposing sides
Helen Windship Brooks is struggling to find herself at the world-renowned Harvard-Radcliffe University when brooding German poet Wils bursts into her life. As they fall deeply in love on the brink of WWI, anti-German sentiments mount and Wils’ future at Harvard-and in America-is in increasing danger. When Wils is called to fight for the Kaiser, Helen must decide if she is ready to fight her own battle for what she loves most.
From Harvard’s hallowed halls to Belgium’s war-ravaged battlefields, The End of Innocence is a powerful new vision of finding love and hope in a violent, broken world.

"I liked this book very much. There is so much to be said about WWI, but this addressed it in a personal literary fashion. And, it was so wise and hopeful." - Nancy Nevin, Sunriver Books & Music, OR
"I generally don’t read a lot of literary fiction, but I’ve got to say, this is a winner. I read it in one sitting. Allegra Jordan is a gifted writer." - Elizabeth Kanouse, Director, Denville Public Library (NJ)
"This is a wonderful story set around prestigious Harvard College prior to America’s intervention into the Great War and follows a cast of formidable characters into the early 1930s...More than Harvard’s story, it is one of loyalty, love, trust, and betrayal, woven around the war that tore families apart, but eventually drew strength out of long-buried loneliness." - Carol Hicks, Bookshelf Stores Inc. (CA)
