Land of the Living

"Land of the Living" by Georgina Harding explores the lasting impact of trauma and memory on a man named Charlie, a WWII survivor whose past experiences in Nagaland continue to intrude upon his present life in rural Norfolk. As Charlie attempts to rebuild and find peace with his wife Claire, the novel delves into the complex and often unspoken shadows of history that shape him, raising questions about survival, silence, and the bonds that tie us to the past. This evocative story is a profound meditation on how the echoes of history can influence life's new beginnings.
