The story kept me going for a while but it was so dated with reference to social mores seen through a soldiers eyes who had expected things to remain the same as when left for war. The narrative gets so gloomy and controverted that it became somewhat tedious to listen. The underwhelming ending was a appointment.

OK. it's a great early look at PTSD but full of unlikable characters. Anyone you sorta like dies or turns out to be preachy. The bad guys win and the ending will offend your sense of justice

Very tense…sadness of war and the moral destruction of society’s women. Very well read. An ending which coincides with the tone of the book.

Couldn't stop listening! Perfectly narrated suspenseful of a wounded soldier's battle for love, sanity and life.
