The Distance from Normandy by Jonathan Hull

Fifty years after the D-Day landings, an aging American veteran named Jack Eisenberg finds himself drawn back to the beaches of Normandy—and to the haunting memories he tried to forget. As he retraces his steps through the French countryside, Jack confronts the ghosts of his past: fallen comrades, impossible choices, and the lingering question of whether courage was enough. The Distance from Normandy is a moving, beautifully crafted novel about war, memory, and redemption. Jonathan Hull masterfully captures both the grandeur and the human cost of history in this unforgettable story of one man's reckoning with the past.
