A generation returns from war to discover that the hardest battles are fought at home.

In Soldier's Pay, William Faulkner's powerful debut novel explores the wounds left behind by war and the difficult process of returning to civilian life. The story follows a group of World War I veterans as they travel home with Lieutenant Donald Mahon, a wounded soldier whose physical and emotional scars reflect the devastation of an entire generation. As they reconnect with families, friends, and former lives, they encounter disillusionment, loneliness, and the painful realization that the world they left behind has changed forever. With its themes of memory, sacrifice, identity, and the lasting consequences of conflict, Soldier's Pay announces the arrival of one of America's greatest literary voices.
