Synopsis "Random Harvest: A Novel"

A World War I veteran's comfortable life is upended by buried memories in this "completely real and convincing" New York Times bestseller by an Academy Award-winning screenwriter (The New York Times). Charles Rainier's family feared him lost along with so many of Britain's youth during the Great War. But two years after he was reported missing in action, he appears in a Liverpool hospital with no memory of the time that has passed. Rainier marries and embarks on a life of relative success, but he still can't recall his time on the battlefield--until the first bombs of the Second World War begin to fall. Suddenly, his memories flood back. Now, recollections of a violent battlefield, a German prison, and a passionate affair all threaten to fracture the peaceful life he has worked so hard to create. From the bestselling author of Lost Horizon and Goodbye, Mr. Chips--who also earned an Oscar for his screenwriting during Hollywood's Golden Age--Random Harvest is a moving account of the trauma of war, the disruption of a seemingly ordinary life, and the courage required to find redemption in the face of the most overwhelming circumstances.
