I was recommended this book on the strength of the threads of fate, and found it engaging . . . though definitely a product of the time in which it was written, notable most in the style of writing.
It is very much the deeply emotional and inextricably entwined story of two men by chance on opposite sides of a war - and hits so many of the beats of a romantic entanglement, along with excellent character development and integrity.
