The Return of the Soldier by Rebecca West

sidharthvardhan's review against another edition

4.0

A love story devoid of melodrama, full of psychological realism (except the simplicity of the ending), beautiful prose, observations about inter-gender and inter-class communications; the book reminded me of 'Age of Innocence'. I don't know why it doesn't have more ratings.

Good for what it was. I doubt that it will be very memorable.

Read this for my Modernism class.

While I skimmed this novel for the sake of time, the pieces I picked up, I did genuinely love. I think I will come back to this to read on my own time one day.

The imagery within these pages were quite beautiful, especially to read on bright, spring mornings.
