Sonet: Homeward

By Esa Johannes Pesonen

A wounded soldier lies alone on a battlefield.

As life slowly leaves him, memories return.

He remembers poverty, violence, and a childhood spent unwanted. He remembers years of anger and wandering. Above all, he remembers Aino-the only woman he ever loved.

While war rages around him, Eino travels through the landscape of his own past. The boundaries between memory, dream, faith, and death begin to fade. What remains is a search for meaning, forgiveness, and home.

Sonet: Homeward is a novel in verse set against the backdrop of the Second World War. Told in a powerful and intimate voice, it is a story about love lost, survival, loneliness, and the hope that even the most broken lives may find peace at last.

For readers of literary fiction, war literature, and narrative poetry.
