Title: Don't waste your money
Review: This book was a keen disappointment. Although you can see the seeds of a good writer here (culminating in Correlli's Mandolin), this book is a mess. The characters are difficult to remember, and none of them elicit the least bit of sympathy. The fact that the author kills them off or subjects them to graphic torture doesn't help. As for plot, good luck. I kept hoping for some redeeming scene or resolution, but nothing arose. I sold this book to a used book store to retrieve something of merit from my waste of time. I only feel bad for the next unsuspecting reader....
