The Return of the Soldier (Xist Classics) by Rebecca West

Having fought in World War One, 35-year-old Chris Baldry finally returns home. Believing he's 20 years old, he is shocked when he finds out the he actually has a wife and that his childhood sweetheart is already married with another man. He slowly realizes the passing of time but he can't remember anything from his last 15 years. Is there a solution?

Dame Rebecca West (1892-1983) began as a journalist and a feminist writing for The Freewoman and The Clarion. She met H.G. Wells in 1912 and together they had a son, Anthony West. In 1918 she published The Return of the Soldier, the first of her novels, which deals with the issue of shell-shock. She married H.M. Andrews in 1930 and they then travelled in Yugoslavia gathering material for her famous Black Lamb, Grey Falcon. She was present at the Nuremberg trials, and, following the treason trials in London, published The Meaning of Treason. She continued to write and review with her usual panache and vigour until her death.

Public domain in US but should still be in copyright in Life+50/70 countries so Xist may be messed up.
