Narrated by a woman who, like West, has never experienced war and yet for whom the war was very real, The Return of the Soldier (1918) takes place not on a battlefield, but in an isolated country house. 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, as well as the choice between the romantic past and the horrifying present, between love and reality."--Jacket. 000434472 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1914-1918$$zEngland$$vFiction. 000434472 650_0 $$aMan-woman relationships$$vFiction. 000434472 650_0 $$aCountry homes$$vFiction. 000434472 650_0 $$aWar neuroses$$vFiction. 000434472 650_0 $$aSoldiers$$vFiction. 000434472 650_0 $$aAmnesia$$vFiction. 000434472 651_0 $$aEngland$$vFiction. 000434472 655_7 $$aPsychological fiction.$$2lcgft 000434472 655_7 $$aDomestic fiction.$$2lcgft 000434472 655_7 $$aWar fiction.$$2lcgft 000434472 830_0 $$aPenguin twentieth-century classics. 000434472 85200 $$bgen$$hPR6045.E8$$iR4$$i1998 000434472 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:434472$$pGLOBAL_SET 000434472 980__ $$aBIB 000434472 980__ $$aBOOK
