A review by misslezlee
Friends And Heroes by Olivia Manning

3.0

More of the same. Guy is busy all the time. Harriett plays around with other young men but never commits. The Germans make life difficult and the war gets too close for comfort. The same cast of insufferable British ex-pats create minor intrigues and petty squabbles. I’m going to say adieu, and leave them all approaching Egypt, where, I’m sure they’ll carry on just the same. I did enjoy Manning’s beautiful descriptions of Athens and the surrounding countryside, but her characters are dreadfully tedious.
