Title: Powerful, enthralling, heartbreaking
Review: No book has had as powerful an effect on me as this one. I have never read as effective a treatment of loyalty; love; fear; courage. When I reached the last page, after Jordan's injury forces him to leave his love Maria to carry on and he must await his death from the pursuing Fascists, he lies in the pine-scented forest (I can still smell it), lining up his rifle on the leader of the soldiers, the pine-needles pricking through his shirt as he lay, he waited for the officer to enter the sunlit area ... when I read this I wept. A tremendous, heartstopping novel.
