When Sam Richardson returns in 1946 from the "Forgotten War" in Burma to his hometown in northern England, he finds little changed. The war has changed him, however, broadening his horizons but also leaving him deeply scarred with traumatic, often hellish, memories. In addition, his six-year-old son Joe barely remembers him, and his wife has gained a new sense of independence from her wartime job. As all three strive to adjust, the bonds of love and loyalty are stretched to the breaking point in this taut and profoundly moving novel that captures what millions of families experienced in the aftermath of World War II.- Winner of the WH Smith Literary Award as best novel of the year.- Arcade is publishing the paperback simultaneously with its sequel, A Son of War, which is equally wonderful and will also garner terrific reviews, raising Bragg's profile even more.- THE SOLDIER's RETURN will stand as one of the defining novels of WWII.- Bragg brings to life the small town of Wigton (where he grew up) in meticulous, and loving, detail.- Hardcover ISBN: 1-55970-639-2
