Chris is Going Home

A thin, atmospheric novel in the spirit of Virginia Woolf, revealing the whims of memory, the nature of love, and pointing to the fragility of everything we seem to be accustomed to.

What happened to Chris? He is in the hospital after being wounded and does not recognize his loved ones: neither his previously adored wife nor his caring cousin. All he is able to remember is his strange first love. Only with her is he ready to open his soul, only with her does he want to spend time. A picturesque English estate awaits its owner, but does Chris want to go home?

An experienced psychiatrist, invited to see Chris, is convinced: it's not just about the concussion he suffered in the trenches of World War I... No one doubts that love and attachment are stronger than any trauma. It remains only to understand what close ones can really do to stop the hidden pain and restore life to its former course.
