Lovely.First third or so was engaging, if a little purple.As for the remainder, minor annoyances became even more irritating with repetition.On the whole, a fairly decent period romance with many beautiful touches.
I have to admit I was skeptical when I started reading this book. It sounded very boring and ordinary, but I loved it. Michael and John has so much in common and then at times they had nothing in common. Both characters were well represented and the dept to them was very good. At times the book left...
The first 3/4 of this book was nothing at all like I'd expected and I was LOVING it!

Michael was once a flourishing medical student, but the war did a number on him, and when he came back home...
Finding this just too hard to finish at the moment. Not keen on the pacing or the historical detailing, feels more modern. Also finding it difficult to connect with the characters and feel any empathy. :( Might have to revisit it at a later date.
