The inspiration for the Merchant Ivory film starring Kris
Kristofferson and Barbara Hershey, A Soldier's Daughter
Never Cries is a rich and poignant family story from
the daughter of novelist James Jones. Back in print, this
new edition includes an author's introduction reflecting
on the process of developing a screenplay from her novel,
as well as a previously unpublished chapter, "Mother's
Day," that was left out of the original Bantam
edition.
Based on the author's early years in Paris
with her famous father, A Soldier’s Daughter Never
Cries chronicles the growth of an extraordinary
family. Previously the adored only child, Channe finds her
world disrupted by the adoption of a French brother,
Benoit. This inspired novel explores the complex, volatile
relationships between a brother, a sister, a mother, and a
father, as they confront their own experiences of
orphanhood.
