The Human Body: A Novel

From the bestselling author of The Solitude of Prime Numbers, a searing novel of the journey from youth into manhood
Â
A heartrending, at times darkly comic but ultimately redemptive novel, Paolo Giordanoâ€™s The Human Body is an exploration of brotherhood and family, of modern war and the wars we wage within ourselves. It is a novel that reminds us of what it means to be human.

A platoon of young men and a single woman leave Italy for one of the most dangerous places on earth. At their forward operating base in Afghanistanâ€”an exposed sandpit scorched by inescapable sunlight and mortar fireâ€”this band of inexperienced soldiers navigates the irreversible journey from youth to adulthood. But when a much-debated mission goes devastatingly awry, their lives are changed in an instant. And on their return home, they will confront the most difficult challenge of all: to create a life worth living.Â
