Jeannie L. Johnson Boeken
Het schrijven van Jeannie Johnson onderscheidt zich door haar inzichtelijke verkenning van menselijke relaties en geleefde ervaringen. Voortbouwend op een diverse achtergrond, waaronder carrières in de advocatuur, de reclassering en zelfs acteren, biedt haar vertelstem een uniek perspectief. Johnsons werk duikt diep in de complexiteit van de menselijke natuur en navigeert vakkundig door uitdagende situaties en emotionele diepten. Haar verhalen resoneren met universele thema's als liefde, verlies en de zoektocht naar betekenis, en bieden lezers een boeiende en herkenbare literaire reis.
Jeannie Johnson's sparkling prequel, The Rest of Our Lives, introduced our three heroines. The post-war years bring these very different women just as many dreams, disappointments, and triumphs. It's Coronation Year, 1953, a new beginning. Like many cities, Bristol is patching itself up after the war, while refugees who fought for the allies are seeking sanctuary in Britain. Charlotte tries to forget her wartime love and accept the shortcomings of her marriage. Edna has three beautiful children and will do anything to protect her brood, but hasn't allowed for the effect of a deadly, 20th-century disease. Polly still hopes for an easier, more glamorous life, but with her irrepressible young daughter and her charming tricky husband, will things improve?

Jeannie L. Johnson takes a sympathetic but critical look at the Marine Corps's long experience with counterinsurgency warfare. Which counterinsurgency lessons have been learned and retained for next time and which have been abandoned to history is a story of battlefield trial and error--but also a story of cultural collisions explored in this book.
