Circles of Time par Phillip Rock
Fantastic read - this was written in the early 80s and the writing is spare and the characters are deeply developed - my favorite type of novel. Can't wait for the third book in the trilogy but must read Z (Zelda Fitzgerald) first for a book club.
I read / own a first edition. Good historical fiction, with great detail about many aspects of WWI: societal changes, the battles and politics of the battle "plans", the care of the wounded, and the battle for free Press. Right up there with Birdsong (but not as character specific) and Fall of Giants (but not as broad and sweeping). Glad Downton Abbey and 2014 reading challenge inspired me to read this little treasure that was languishing in my bookshelf. Having said that, the ending was rushed, as if the writer had reached his limit. Still, I'm looking forward to reading the sequels. If you like historical epics with war, politics and romance, you'll enjoy this.… (plus d'informations)

sydsavvy | 12 autres critiques | Apr 8, 2016 | WWI changed the world. This book is the first in a trilogy and follows the lives of an English upper class family through the changes that war brought about. It's not "Downton Abbey" so if you're looking for a story that focuses on the house, this isn't it. It's more gritty than that and while there was a little more detail about the war itself than I would have liked, in retrospect, it was necessary for this book. (3 and a half stars)
