Pieces of Me

"Hart writes piercingly about loss. . . . A memorable, cohesive story of a fractured life." —Guardian

"Hart describes with great power the psychological trauma of war and the complicated grief of losing people in combat. She also dynamically explores how this can lead some people to hastily and tragically stigmatize people from different nationalities and religions. . . . The story gives a balanced view of the hardships of servicemen in the American military and their families as well as Middle Eastern refugees who've been granted asylum in the US. But it also beautifully shows the sense of community and bonds that arise between people in these groups as they endeavour to deal with how war has impacted their families and friends. . . . A resonant and heartfelt novel." —Lonesome Reader
