I adored this, and it was amazing to see a five hundred page love story told in two hundred; every word had something behind it, and nothing felt like filler. This was all about the character which is completely my jam, so the utter softness and deep feels worked perfectly for me.

I hope that Robert and David have a wonderfully long life together (they better return to Cornwall during the next war—my worries always which is why I don’t often read WWI stories). ( )

Perhaps 4 Stars...

I wanted to love this book, really I did, but ended up only liking it. There was just something... writing style perhaps... that kept me slightly too removed from the characters. I'll have to try another of this author's books to perhaps suss out the reasons. ( )
