The Soldier's Home

The follow-up to The Single Soldier: A powerful novel set in a small French village as one man is caught between war and peace, heartache and hope . . . The Germans have left, the war is over, and his home has been rebuilt—but a home is just a set of empty rooms without people and love. Around him, the community tries to rekindle their lives, and rediscover their reasons for surviving. As the soldier waits for the return of his love, the world keeps moving, threatening to leave his hopes and dreams behind—and his soul remains troubled, until peace finally arrives from a very unexpected source . . . Praise for The Single Soldier: "Magnificent." —Willy Russell, author of Blood Brothers and Educating Rita
