Surely a leading candidate for the title, “best novel about the Iraq war,” The Yellow Birds inspired one of our better discussions, not least because so much of the novel was deliberately left open to interpretation.  The timeline gets blurred as the novel progresses and the action turns into a hazy nightmare.

Amazon references the novel’s “profound emotional insight, especially into the effects of a hidden war on mothers and families at home,” and claims it is a “groundbreaking novel that is destined to become a classic.”  I’d say amen to the last.  LJ
