Random Harvest
Author: James Hilton
Desc: Charles Rainier’s family feared him lost along with so many of Britain’s youth during the Great War. But two years after he was reported missing in action he appears in a Liverpool hospital with no memory of the time that has passed. Rainier marries and embarks on a life of relative success but he still can’t recall his time on the battlefield—until the first bombs of the Second World War begin to fall. Suddenly his memories flood back. Now recollections of a violent battlefield a German prison and a passionate affair all threaten to fracture the peaceful life he has worked so hard to create. From the bestselling author of Lost Horizon and Goodbye Mr. Chips—who also earned an Oscar for his screenwriting during Hollywood’s Golden Age—Random Harvest is a moving account of the trauma of war the disruption of a seemingly ordinary life and the courage required to find redemption in the face of the most overwhelming circumstances.
