~ Trade Paperback

When an American woman, Stella Bain, is found suffering from severe shell shock in an exclusive garden in London, surgeon August Bridge and his wife selflessly agree to take her in, but this gesture of goodwill turns into something more as Bridge quickly develops a clinical interest in his houseguest . . . 

In a sweeping narrative that moves from Europe to America and back again, Anita Shreve's Stella Bain creates a wrenching tale about love and the meaning of memory, and about loss and redemption in the wake of a war that devastated a generation. 

"Touching, heartbreaking, sometimes so vivid you can almost feel the fear." -- Boston Globe
