Veteran

Summoned home from Honolulu to the Pacific Northwest after WWII, ex-marine Joe Dover meets and falls for Carmelita Maldonado, a Mexican-American preacher's daughter from California. Unable to resist extramarital temptations, he finds his family life crumbling. The Veteran is the story of a changing society in the 1960s and early 70s, as seen through the lens of a grim memory of war.
"thoughtful, contemplative, and engrossing. . . While he plows psychological ground tilled earlier by such writers as
. . . Cheever, . . . Updike, and . . . Roth, Owens' terse observations are no less profound." -- US Review of Books
"poignant and beautifully-detailed" -- Rod Val Moore, author of A History of Hands.
