Just finished reading this...
It took me quite a while to get into it as there seemed to be so many characters, and then to work out who belonged to who.
As the story progressed it was more interesting and some of the plot was a surprise but other parts I had it worked out to some extent well before I got there.
I always enjoy reading about the 20th century and how life was lived and the attitudes that were so prevalent then so the story fulfilled that need.
It was a joy to read a book where the author didn't feel the need to fill it with bad language or sex scenes that are so detailed that they leave nothing to the imagination. Its a story that wouldn't offend anyone.
This is an excellent book for a holiday read as its very light reading and very easy to pick up where you left off.
