Good Hope Road: A Novel by Sarita Mandanna [Hardcover]
Good Hope Road by Sarita Mandanna is a compelling historical novel set against the backdrop of World War I, exploring friendship, trauma, and redemption. The story follows two American volunteers in the French Foreign Legion—James Stonebridge, an idealistic New Englander, and Obadaiah Nelson, a spirited Louisianan—who form an unexpected bond as they endure the relentless horrors of trench warfare. Years after the war, James, now a reclusive veteran haunted by his experiences, faces new challenges as his son, Jim, and a spirited woman named Madeleine push him toward confronting his past. Set between pre-war Paris, the battlefields of Europe, and rural Vermont, the narrative poignantly examines the enduring psychological scars of war and the search for healing in a troubled world on the brink of another global conflict.
The novel offers a powerful portrayal of war's lasting impact and aligns with other celebrated war novels such as Birdsong and All Quiet on the Western Front.
