World War I, the backdrop of Rebecca West's first novel, was "the first war that women could imagine, as Samuel Hynes writes in his eloquent Introduction, "and so it was the first that a woman could write into a novel". However, The Return of the Soldier (1918) takes place not on the battlefield but in an isolated country house. Narrated by a woman who, like West, has never experienced war and yet for whom the war is very real, it examines the relationships between three women and a soldier suffering from shell shock. This novel of an enclosed world invaded by public events also embodies in its characters the shifts in England's class structures at the beginning of the twentieth century, and the choice between the romantic past and the horrifying present, between love and reality.

寫的精彩,細膩,挖掘深度的能力很強,像看過片段的亨利詹姆斯。但所依托的故事題材卻太平白老套與無趣瞭,即使發揮極度齣彩依然感到效果有限。
评分和Woolf、和Henry James相似在皮不在骨。第五章很有風味。
评分“Truth is truth” and truth is not beauty. This is how wars damage Romanticism. Youth lost,love faded and faith dead. 90頁的書讀起來像900頁那麼長。
