Home Front

This title comes from the international bestselling author of "Night Road", the 2011 UK TV Book Club selection. From a distance, Michael and Jolen Zarkades seem to have it a solid dependable marriage, exciting careers and children they adore. But after twelve blissful years together, the couple has lost their way. They are unhappy and edging towards divorce. Then an unexpected deployment tears their already fragile family apart, sending one of them deep into harm's way and leaving the other at home, caring for the children and waiting for news. When the worst happens, each must face their darkest fear and fight for the future of their family. This is an intimate look at the inner landscape of a disintegrating marriage and a dramatic exploration of the price of war. "Home Front" is a provocative and timely portrait of hope, honour, loss, forgiveness - and the elusive nature of love.
