Special Providence (Yates Richard)(Paperback)

Bobby is eighteen and lost on the battlefields of Europe, stumbling his way through World War II. He has turned out to be the heroic soldier he imagined and his experience of battle principally involves fear and confusion. Back home, his mother Alice puts all her hopes in her son, and dreams of his return and starting a new life for them both. Richard Yates''s novel is both tender and ironic as he follows Bobby''s adventures and disasters and reflects on the intense but complicated bond between mother and son.
