Description

Small Wars by Sadie Jones tells the story of Hal Treherne, a young soldier on the brink of a brilliant career, and his wife Clara, who sustains him as he rises through the ranks.

When Hal is transferred to Cyprus, Clara joins him, bringing their baby daughters with her. But the island is in the midst of the Emergency, with British soldiers defending the colony against Cypriot guerrillas. As Hal leads his men into action, he begins to experience the harsh realities of war, and his relationship with Clara starts to fray.

The atrocities that Hal becomes embroiled in take a toll on their marriage, leading to a shocking personal crisis that will change them both forever.
