Conrad Farrell does not come from a military family, but as a
classics major at Williams College, he has encountered the powerful
appeal of the Marine Corps ethic: "Semper Fidelis" comes straight
from Sparta, a society where every citizen doubled as a full-time
soldier. When Conrad graduates, he joins the Marines to continue a
long tradition of honor, courage, and commitment over the course of
a four-year tour in Iraq. When we meet him, he has just come home
to Katonah, New York. As Conrad attempts to find his footing in the
civilian world, he learns how hard it is to return to the people
and places he used to love. Gradually, he awakens to a growing rage
and the realization that something has gone wrong.
Suspenseful, compassionate, and perceptive, Roxana Robinson's
"Sparta" "is a beautifully written novel that illuminates what
happens when we're estranged from the world as we know it"
("Chicago Tribune").
