Items related to The Soldier's Wife
Dan Riley is a major in the British Army. After a six month tour of duty in Afghanistan, he is coming home to the wife and young daughters he adores. The outside world sees those reunions as a taste of heaven after months of hell.
But are they? Can a man trained to fight adjust again to family and domestic life? And how will the family cope, if he can't? To what extent can Alexa, Dan's wife, sacrifice her own needs and fulfilment to support his commitment to a way of life that demands everything not just of him, but of her and the children as well?
This novel takes a keen look at the home lives of the modern Army. What happens when love and a vocation collide, head on?

Review:
"Written with all Trollope's customary skill and panache, this is an absorbing look at the modern military wife who no longer automatically follows the drum" (Daily Mail)

"Trollope is on top form, hitting the zeitgeist with this perceptive and compassionate inside story of an army marriage" (Woman & Home)
"The Soldier's Wife is a cracking read and has clearly been thoroughly researched. All the little details which animate a novel ring true... compassionate, humourous and topical" (Spectator)
"Trollope is always immensely readable, managing to depict characters' inner turmoil with deft, artful simplicity. Here, she brings her emotionally acute eye to bear on army life" (Henry Sutton Daily Mirror)
