À propos de cet audio

"Home Front is Hannah's crowning achievement."—The Huffington Post

In this powerhouse of a novel, Kristin Hannah explores the intimate landscape of a troubled marriage with this provocative and timely portrait of a husband and wife, in love and at war.


All marriages have a breaking point. All families have wounds. All wars have a cost. . . .

Like many couples, Michael and Jolene Zarkades have to face the pressures of everyday life—children, careers, bills, chores—even as their twelve-year marriage is falling apart. Then a deployment sends Jolene deep into harm's way and leaves defense attorney Michael at home, unaccustomed to being a single parent to their two girls. As a mother, it agonizes Jolene to leave her family, but as a solider, she has always understood the true meaning of duty. In her letters home, she paints a rose-colored version of her life on the front lines, shielding her family from the truth. But war will change Jolene in ways that none of them could have foreseen. When tragedy strikes, Michael must face his darkest fear and fight a battle of his own—for everything that matters to his family.

At once a profoundly honest look at modern marriage and a dramatic exploration of the toll war takes on an ordinary American family, Home Front is a story of love, loss, heroism, honor, and ultimately, hope.

"Hannah has written a remarkable tale of duty, love, strength, and hope that is at times poignant and always thoroughly captivating and relevant." —Library Journal (starred review)

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Kristin Hannah's Home Front, read with fine emotional nuance by Maggi-Meg Reed, is the kind of novel that grabs your heart as it draws you in…Keep the Kleenex close, and breathe through the lumps in your throat.” —Booklist

“The novel's second half, a moving exploration of the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder on an already shaky family dynamic, is especially well read by Maggi-Meg Reed, who inhabits all the voices and characters with skill and heartfelt emotion. A timely book that is highly recommended for all audiences.” —Library Journal, Starred Review

This story really pulled on the heartstrings as a mother. I have so much respect for those who protect us and the profound sacrifice they make with not only their bodies and minds but their hearts. The author has painted a brutally honest depiction of home after war and any one who reads this book will be better for it and more understanding of the life changes these soldiers have had to endure. Great read, I will highly recommend it and will never forget it!

Great story

The narrator was great. I listened to over half of the book. Hardly a happy moment written to that point. I just had to give up. It's too depressing for me.

couldn't finish it

What a story. I laughed. I cried. I felt the pain of the characters. Each one had such a personality. One of those books that came alive.

Amazing story

Enjoyed this book but also hated it. PTSD is brutal and we all should know more about it and it’s affect on society. Tough topic but neatly tied up in a story I could relate to.

Great story: sad, depressing, exciting, happy and full of love

I absolutely lived this book! A book that brings me to tears tells me that I have completely engaged with the story. The family dynamics are spot on and I learned a lot about how commitment on several fronts can shape your life!!!

This is one of Kristin Hannah’s best books.

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it. I love the characters and the story line. However, I would suggest you read it rather than listen to it on Audible. This narrator is very annoying, especially when she changes her voice for different characters. The voice she used for the children was especially irritating!!!

Enjoyable ...Kristin Hannah doesn't disappoint!

This story is not for the faint of heart. I cried many times while listening in my car. Kristen expertly writes real people who can make you so angry and whom you can also come to love and forgive. A Brilliant talent

She never disappoints!

Being a big fan of Kristen Hannah's books, I enjoyed this story as well. I liked that it really helped the reader understand the toll war takes, not only on the soldier, but on loved ones at home, particularly when it's the non-traditional Mom going off to fight, rather than Dad. Unfortunately, the narrator was all wrong for this story. She sounded much older than 41 year old Jolene, and when she voiced the children's parts I literally cringed. Highly recommend it be re-recorded with a different narrator. Otherwise it would be best to read this one rather than listen to it.

Great premise, awful narration
