The Return of the Soldier, the debut novel of one of the most lauded writers of the twentieth century, delves into the complex relationships between three women who are bound by friendship, family, and love to one soldier whose fate becomes their shared concern. When returns from the trenches of World War I, his mental trauma and amnesia testify to the horrors of war while simultaneously shedding light on the constraints in class-conscious England on the quest for happiness. A study of the human heart, The Return of the Soldier explores eternal themes with profound perception and insight. This Warbler Classics edition includes a detailed biographical timeline.
