Book #12 in 2012 (Audio)

You Know When the Men Are Gone by Siobhan Fallon. Read by Cassandra Campbell.

5.5 hours. Beautifully read by Ms. Campbell.

This is the best book I've "read" in a long time. It is a book of loosely related stories centering on the lives of families living in Ft. Hood - the men at war and the families left behind. It completely changed my view of military life. I hope it becomes required reading for high school students, so they can make more informed choices about their futures.

My only complaint about this book is I wish it had been longer. I didn't want to see it end.

5 stars.
