Powerful and lean Eleven Days is an astonishing first novel full of suspense that addresses our most basic questions about war as it tells of the love between a mother and her son When the story opens on May 11 2011 Saras son Jason has been missing for nine days from a Special Operations Forces mission on the same night as the Bin Ladennbspraid Smart young and bohemian Sara had dreams of an Ivy League university for Jason that were not out of reach followed by a job on the Hill where there were connections through his father The events of 911 changed Jasons mind and Sara accepted that steeping herself in all things military to better understand her sons days while she works as a freelance editor for Washington policy makers and wonks Now she knows nothing more about Jasons fate than the crowds of wellwishers and media camped out in the driveway in front of her small farmhouse in Chadds Ford Pennsylvania waiting to hear news In a series of flashbacks we learn about Jasons dashing absentee father a man who said he was a writer but whose career seemed to involve being in faraway places And through letters Jason writes home from his training and early missions we get a picture of a strong compassionate leader who is wise beyond his years and modest about his abilities Those exceptional abilities will give Jason the chance to participate in a wholly different level of assignment the most important and dangerous of his career At the end Sara will find herself on an unexpected journey full of surprise This is a haunting narrative about a mothers bond with her son about life choices about the military war and service to ones country Lea Carpenter a dazzling new talent with the kind of strong and distinctive voice that comes along all too rarely has given us a thrilling and unforgettable storynbsp
