    About this ebook

    In Rebecca West's The Return of the Soldier (1918), Chris Baldry comes home from World War I shell-shocked and suffering from amnesia. He believes that he is twenty years old and in love with an innkeeper's daughter whom he has not actually seen in fifteen years. His elegant wife and spinster cousin must suffer the chagrin of being forgotten, as well as face the challenge of how to cure his mental illness.
