Renault's tale about a British soldier coming to terms with his homosexuality is wonderful storytelling and keeps your interest throughout. A change of pace from her ancient Greece-type of books, but just as entertaining.
set in England during World War II
An engaging novel in the Mary Renault tradition. It talks about forbidden love and situations with delicacy and grace. Anyone looking for a quick thrill can look elsewhere. Patrons of good, tasteful literature can rely on Ms. Renault again!
