The Return of the Soldier |
|---|
In 1916 on an isolated country estate just outside London, Captain Chris Baldry, a shell-shocked captain suffering from amnesia, makes a bittersweet homecoming to the three women who have helped shape his life. Will the devoted wife he can no longer recollect, the favorite cousin he remembers only as a childhood friend, and the poor innkeeper’s daughter he once courted leave Chris to languish in a safe, dreamy past–or will they help him recover his memory so that he can return to the front? The answer is revealed through a heart-wrenching, unexpected sacrifice. |

Reviewer: ListeninginChicago - 7/24/2009 17:31Subject: Challenging subject that is well worth the time This is a short book − six chapters and well less than 3 hours in length − but it packs a punch. I was struck by the descriptions − Rebecca West uses words beautifully to paint pictures − of the pond, of the furniture, of the characters (both in appearance and personality). The book is narrated by Jenny, Chris' cousin, and Elizabeth Klett does an excellent job of breathing (reading) life into her. |
