Home Front: A heart-wrenching exploration of love and war from the author of The Four Winds and The Women Paperback – 10 Nov. 2022 by Kristin Hannah

'One of the greatest storytellers of our time' - Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing

From the multi-million copy number one bestselling author of The Women, The Nightingale and The Four Winds, Home Front is a provocative and timely portrait of hope, honour, loss, forgiveness and the elusive nature of love.

An intimate look at the inner landscape of a disintegrating marriage and a dramatic exploration of the price of war.

'It’s not intentions that matter. It’s actions. My drill instructor used to say that all the time. We are what we do and say, not what we intend to'

From a distance, Michael and Jolen Zarkades seem to have it all: 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.
