Jane wrote On the Other Side in order to complain about war. She began to despise war in earnest in 2003, the night the US bombed Baghdad. That same night, her mother’s battle with falling, broken bones and failing health began. Jane walked back and forth between her mother’s emergency room and the reception area, where a television screen reported the invasion. The shocking suffering in the two rooms felt and sometimes looked similar. After writing a book of poetry that contrasted her mother’s long painful struggle to the long painful struggle in Iraq, Jane began interviewing veterans of WWII. Her further study of WWII led to writing this novel. In that process, she discovered the many ways that people’s hearts and minds take sides about war.weniger sehen
