From an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, an epic novel of love
and loss and the long shadows war leaves behind.
Summer, 1942. Kitty, an army driver stationed in Sussex, meets Ed,
a Royal Marine commando, and Larry, a liaison officer with Combined
Ops. She falls instantly in love with Ed, who falls in love with
her. So does Larry. Both men go off to war, and Ed wins the highest
military honor for his bravery. But sometimes heroes don't make the
best husbands.
"Motherland "follows Kitty, Ed, and Larry from wartime England and
the brutally tragic Dieppe raid to Nazi-occupied France, India
after the war, and Jamaica before independence. Against this
ever-changing backdrop--as they witness history being made and
participate in the smaller dramas of romance, friendship, and
parenthood--these three friends make choices that will determine
the challenges and triumphs of their lives. But the insistent
current running through all they experience is the unacknowledged
tension of the love triangle that binds them together and must
somehow be resolved.
Written by an award-winning screenwriter whose novels have earned
extraordinary critical praise, "Motherland "is a compelling,
page-turning narrative brimming with stunning war scenes,
pageantry, politics, and questions about faith and art, as well as
quiet, intimate moments of passion, doubt, and longing. Above all,
it is a great love story about three people struggling to find
happiness and meaning amid war and its aftermath.
