About
Having lived in France during the First World War, it's no surprise that Wharton documented the impact on her spiritual homeland, both in fiction and non-fiction.
'Coming Home' is told from the perspective of an American aid worker, who helps a wounded French soldier, Jen Réchamp. A bond between the two sees them travel to Jean's home to see that everything is as it should be.
While Wharton might be better known for her high-society satires, 'Coming Home' reveals an author who can capture the horrors of war and the heroic spirits of those who choose to stand against it.
A gripping insight into how the First World War was perceived in France, Wharton's ´Coming Home´ will delight fans of other WWI narratives such as Sam Mendes' Oscar-nominated movie ´1917´.
