Interpretation Supposing Books Song of Songs
Don't read this book if you are already feeling blue. The depths of despair this story of a woman's systematic physical, emotional, and spiritual breakdown due to the impact of war and its aftermath, will surely put you over the edge if you are already fragile. I cried pretty much every chapter from the beginning of World War I and way beyond, which was somehow worse. The writing is fantastic, the characterization of the first person protagonist so palpable that you are literally experiencing every emotion, stress, and imbalance. I don't normally go for books with so much death, tragedy and horror but I went into it blind and once I got started, there was no way I could put it down. I want to read her other books and I am crossing my fingers that they won't be as dark otherwise I may have to ration them to one per decade so I don't completely lose my mind.Define Books In Favor Of Song of Songs

one of my all time top 10. A sweeping saga that has the power to reduce a reader to tears. Slightly old-fashioned writing style which suits the story and evokes the atmosphere and culture of a bygone era. If you enjoy good quality historical novels, this is one to buy - although you may have to search hard, I think it's out of print now. I have re-read this book at least 5 times, and it's always hard to put down.I don't know what it is about this book that I like it so much, but I do... Read it numerous times and it still always hits the right spot when I'm need of a bit quick fix of romantic saga
Re-read for the umpteenth time. Just as satisfactorily enjoyable as ever, on a par with Gone with the Wind for epic re-visiting. in April 2013 I wrote: I don't know how long this book sat on my shelf, me thinking I had read it; I took it down thinking to charity it, read it "just in case" and then umpteen times thereafter. Don't know what was so compelling: it is a period I am anyway drawn to, but the relationship between Ben and Helena has to play a part. Certainly in my top three all time
A beautiful story taking you though the boer war and the great war. Heartbreaking accounts from the front and the nursing tents and a sometimes sad and sometimes happy tale of unequal love after the war.
I read this book when I was a teenager. I was totally drawn in by the storyline, the historical setting and finally the (slightly erotic) romance. I read it twice, then the book went missing. I suspect my Mother sent it off to Vinnies!I remembered this story for years, but could not find it even after doing some google searches for the title. FINALLY I came across it a week ago and promptly purchased it and started reading it the day it arrived. I loved it. Every page of it. It transports me
i have already read this book but am looking forward to reading it again and reading it as a woman rather than a teenager which i was when i first stumbled upon it
Must be 20 years since I read this book. Can't remember a great deal about the plot but I do remember being completely sucked into it and not being able to put it down then feeling bereft at the end! Must re-read one day.
