Soldier's pay (Penguin modern classics)

“A deft hand has woven this narrative. . . . This book rings true.”―The New York Times Faulkner’s first novel, Soldiers’ Pay (1926), is among the most memorable works to emerge from the First World War. Through the story of a wounded veteran’s homecoming, it examines the impact of soldiers’ return from war on the people―particularly the women―who were left behind.
