"From an Academy Award'nominated screenwriter, an epic novel of love and loss and the long shadows war leaves behind. Summer, 1942. Kitty, an army driver stationed in Sussex, meets Ed, a Royal Marine commando, and Larry, a liaison officer with Combined Ops. She falls instantly in love with Ed, who falls in love with her. So does Larry. Both men go off to war, and Ed wins the highest military honor for his bravery. But sometimes heroes don't make the best husbands. Motherland follows Kitty, Ed, and Larry from wartime England and the brutally tragic Dieppe raid to Nazi-occupied France, India after the war, and Jamaica before independence. Against this ever-changing backdrop'as they witness history being made and participate in the smaller dramas of romance, friendship, and parenthood'these three friends make choices that will determine the challenges and triumphs of their lives. But the insistent current running through all they experience is the unacknowledged tension of the love triangle that binds them together and must somehow be resolved. Written by an award-winning screenwriter whose novels have earned extraordinary critical praise, Motherland is a compelling, page-turning narrative brimming with stunning war scenes, pageantry, politics, and questions about faith and art, as well as quiet, intimate moments of passion, doubt, and longing. Above all, it is a great love story about three people struggling to find happiness and meaning amid war and its aftermath."@en

At the end of a love affair, Alice journeys to Normandy to meet Guy's mother, the grandmother she has never known. She tells her that there was one true love story in the family. In the summer of 1942, Kitty is an ATS driver stationed in Sussex. She meets Ed, a Royal Marine commando, and Larry, a liaison officer with Combined Ops. She falls instantly in love with Ed, who falls in love with her. So does Larry. Mountbatten mounts a raid on the beaches at Dieppe. One of the worst disasters of the war, it sealed the fates of both Larry and Ed, and its repercussions will echo through the generations to come."
"Drei Schicksale, die durch Liebe, Freundschaft und Tragik miteinander verbunden sind Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs lernt die lebenslustige Kitty zwei sehr unterschiedliche Männer kennen: Ed Avenell, einen charismatischen, aber von inneren Dämonen besessenen Kommandosoldaten, und dessen besten Freund, den kunstsinnigen Larry Cornford. Beide verlieben sich in Kitty, die wiederum ihr Herz an Ed verliert. Die beiden heiraten, kurz bevor Ed und Larry in das besetzte Frankreich geschickt werden, wo Ed in Gefangenschaft gerät. Als er 1945 schliesslich nach England und zu Kitty zurückkehrt, ist er verschlossener denn je. Larry versucht, als guter Freund für Kitty da zu sein. Doch schon bald flieht er vor seinen Gefühlen für sie nach London. Vergessen aber, kann er sie nicht ...
