Customer Review

A pastel on white background-back (snow) and black (horror of the battlefield of the Great War).

Pastel shutter (The painting invites occasionally in the book: Eleanor, sister Imogen and Mireille)
A story halftone, unspoken family secrets, forbidden on social brutality background (war) and sporting prowess (climbing lEverest).

Two couples both lifelike and different. Imogen and Ashley, carried away by that passing such a dazzling passion, Mireille and Tristan, a love just as deep as progressive. Imogen and Ashley, a doomed love, carried away by uncontrolled events by the main players. Mireille and Tristan, love while tenderness and trust.

In more than a half-century later, the first couple broke up soon that it sest formed. The brutal separation (fault to bad luck) will never be rebuilt despite numerous exchanges of letters and declarations of love inflamed. The separation is final despite some unsuccessful attempts Renouement because the original lie has done its work.

The second pair starts on a questioning on mutual trust building. Separated, it will end.

Table in black and white, precise, incisive
Nothing seems to stop the sake of accuracy of the author: atrocious scenes in the trenches (battles, injuries, deaths, everyday men), sporting prowess (fatigue, cold, physical pain).

After fuzzy feelings, accuracy Completion detail. The best example (but not only) is the last chapter: temperature, wind force (Beaufort scale) data collected by several actors in different locations.

Not forgetting a little touch of legends (Nordic) and Eastern philosophy.
