The Return of the Soldier is the debut novel of English novelist Rebecca West, first published in 1918. The novel recounts the return of the shell shocked Captain Chris Baldry from the trenches of the First World War from the perspective of his cousin Jenny. The novel grapples with the soldier’s return from World War I with mental trauma and its effects on the family, as well as the light it sheds on their fraught relationships.Though initially reviewed by critics, literary scholars treating West’s work tended to focus on her later novels and dismissed The Return of the Soldier until the end of the twentieth century and beginning of the twenty first. The novel was adapted into a film of the same name in 1982, and later into a stage musical of the same name in 2014 by Charles Miller.[1]This book is a War Fiction, very nicely penned by the author. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work and War Fiction.
