An elegiac novel of war and peace, of fathers and sons, of fading memory and the terror of what cannot be forgotten, Soldiers & Sailors follows the tortured career of Dr. Hal Adams.
Pursued by a past he cannot bring himself to remember, Hal returns to his decaying Midwestern birthplace, where he takes a job as staff physician at a decrepit veterans’ home. There, Hal finds himself the unwilling audience of his patients’ horrific stories, and descends with them into a Dantesque vision of the hell of war. Fleeing one hell for another, Hal searches the ruins of his ancestral home for clues to his own family’s descent into murder and madness. Between these two worlds, Hal finds a guide in Nell, the wryly attentive receptionist—who harbors her own secrets about both worlds.
