My brother recommended I read this book - he was very impressed with it (although my sister-in-law seemed not so enthused).. The book is 380 + pages in length & I have to be honest & say that for me the first 200 + were very hard going. I was thinking that had to agree with Anne & not my brother. Then suddenly I began to become involved - the pages turned over faster & faster to see how this was all going to transpire. In the end my over-all impression was that this was a very good read. Prior to this I had only read Birdsong by Faulks & this is a far, far different 'read'. Thank you brother dear for suggesting this book.

Saw you had this book on your wishlist.... hope you enjoy the read...

Wow! What a nice surprise! I look forward to reading it, remembering your warning to hang in there!

This has bee languishing on my TBR book shelf far too long. Sending it along to another BCer with it on her Wishlist. Enjoy!

Another wish list book sent to me by Valpete; I have read many novels by Sebastian Faulks and loved them all, so I look forward to this one.... hope it won't languish to long on the enormous TBR pile! Thanks so much for thinking of me!
