Soldiers’ Pay (Unabridged)

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

William Faulkner's 'Soldiers' Pay,' his first published novel, tells the story of Lieutenant Donald Mahon, a World War I veteran returning home to Georgia. He's severely injured, disfigured, and suffers from amnesia. Accompanying him are a fellow soldier and a young widow he befriends on the journey. Back home, his family and fiancee, who believed him dead, grapple with his unexpected return and altered state. While Donald struggles to piece together his memories and reintegrate into society, the novel explores themes of post-war trauma, societal expectations, and the complex dynamics of love and loss.
