Another superior English writer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Is it only accidental, that quality English writers receive little feedback on this site, whilst other "American" authors, receive feedback ad nauseum, which ends up being unhelpful as there seems to be little consistency within the reviews. I agree with the only other review regarding this book, even though I am only halfway through. A truly brilliant book!!
An exquisite and deeply moving portrait.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Simply put, this is one of the best novels I have ever read. The story is a tremendously engaging and well-crafted portrait of a crucial period -- 1914 to 1950 -- in France's history. Read does a magnificent job of showing the complexity and grayness of the various character types, world views, politics, etc. of this period of history. The story is so compellingly told that the pages turn like you are reading a great spy novel.
