The Road Back : A Novel (All Quiet on the Western Front)

The Road Back is a classic novel about the slow restoration of peace to Europe in the years following World War I, and it is the sequel to the masterpiece All Quiet on the Western Front. The Great War has finally come to a conclusion after four long years.

Ernst and the few remaining men in his firm are now left wondering what will happen to them.

The village they left as excited young men looks colder, their homes are smaller, and the reasons their companions had to die seem even more mysterious. The journey back to peace for Ernst and his comrades is more perilous than they ever imagined.

With food shortages, political turmoil, and a wounded heart, Ernst faces a crisis that teaches him what it means to live-and what it means not to live.
