I love a good World War Two story, and this one is the best I've read as of lately. Delivered in a style that combines the commercial appeal of a stay-up-half-the-night page-turner with the beautiful literary writing style that makes the author's Oxford education obvious, this story places the readers in the middle of war-torn Europe.The fast-paced plot, vivid descriptions of settings, characters, and events are so vivid and so realistic, they took me back to my grandparents' true stories of running a military battlefield hospital in Europe during the war. The reality of shot-down badly burnt pilots, war-time romance, the ultimate tests of friendship and loyalty that only war can bring - all these and more unique and highly emotionally charged experiences were brought to life for me as I read this book.A fascinating and moving story told very well. Highly recommended.
