You Know When the Men are Gone by Siobhan Fallon

You Know When the Men Are Gone

A very interesting book that helps those of us that are not in the military get a better understanding of how deployment affects those left at home and affects the family relationships of those deployed. I really loved the book. It is a collection of short stories about various families and it takes place at Fort Hood. I did find myself wishing that she had continued a few of the stories and gave us more of a completed picture. I do find that with really good books I want more - to follow up with the characters and see what happens next. I was left with that feeling after this book.
