Small Wars

by Sadie Jones

Knopf Canada | July 27, 2010 | Trade Paperback

Based on 4 ratings | Rate this | 2 reviews
Sadie Jones, the award-winning and internationally bestselling author of The Outcast, returns with an ambitious, richly imagined novel that confirms her place in the literary firmament.

A passionate and beautifully written tale of personal loss in the midst of war in late 1950s Cyprus, Small Wars raises important questions that are just as relevant today.

What happens when everything a man believes in - the army, his country, his marriage - begins to crumble? Hal Treherne is a young British soldier on the brink of a brilliant career. Transferred to Cyprus to defend the colony, Hal takes his wife, Clara, and their daughters with him. But Hal is pulled into atrocities that take him further from Clara, a betrayal that is only one part of a shocking personal crisis to come. Small Wars is a searing, unforgettable novel from a writer at the height of her powers.

    Another Win for Sadie Jones
    I had to read The Outkast by Sadie Jones for my English Literature course last year and absolutely loved the book. I never put it down and it kept me on my toes. After reading some reveiws of her new novel Small Wars, I was sadend by the dislike of the novel. Naturally not listening to others I took it out of the library and I am now going to purchase the novel because it was spectacular. Another win for Sadie Jones!

    High Expections
    Sadie Jones' blew me away with The Outcast. I was riveted throughout the entire book. Naturally, my expectations for Small Wars were high to say the least. Unfortunately, those expectations were not met. I struggled through the first quarter, almost giving it up entirely. I did manage to finish, and found the last quarter to be much more interesting. Still wouldn't recommend it though.
