This book belongs to Hazel as it was bought for her for her Birthday but she finished it while we were on holiday so I took it up and got it read within two days of trains and boats.
I'd heard about it and it had been recommended a few times by people on the Ning so I was looking forward to it.
Well, it did NOT disappoint.
It was not the typical war text that we discussed during our Synoptic lark last year and it would have been really good to have a variety of quotations for that paper actually.
It covered the ideas of spies, blood transfusions, war wounded, German speaking English, English speaking Germans, Switzerland (which was quite coll because that's where I was while I was reading it!) and the average family in London and job/relationship problems.
It was told through letters/diaries/memoir and was just superb.
4.5/5.
:D
