Back to the book: A love story told through characters in narrative flashback. It described well the 'buttoned up' era of the 30/40's. Very sad in it's telling. Many felt the characters were quite shallow and not fully drawn and consequently understanding their motivation was difficult. Although generally liked, no one was particularly entranced with the book/story. Some found the character per chapter quite disorientating. Words used to describe the book: depressing, good first attempt, best on radio, a good story, contrived, could try harder (better editor perhaps), sad, poignant. Marks out of 10 ranged from 5 - 7.
