Sparta

In "Sparta," Conrad Farrell, a classics major with no military background, joins the Marines inspired by the ancient Spartan warrior ethos. After four harrowing years in Iraq, he returns to Westchester only to find that reintegrating into civilian life is more challenging than expected. Struggling with bitterness and a sense of alienation, he grapples with reconnecting to loved ones and the mundane realities of everyday life. Roxana Robinson's suspenseful narrative delves into the complex emotions modern soldiers experience as they seek to reclaim their place in the society they served.
