Title: A STEP BACKWARD IN TIME
Review: I did not realize that Wouk is 90. I guess, at that age, this book is " acceptable ". But, otherwise the only words applicable are mawkish, awkward, clunky, predictable;maybe, even embarrasssing; you take my meaning.As Ebert and Roeper are wont to say "two thumbs down, way down".Memory brings back the "War ---" books and Marjorie Morningstar.I read them when they first appeared; and liked them alot. That gives away my age.Good luck, Herman. We are brothers.
