This book had no plot! It really didn't. But it did have beautiful prose. But even beautiful prose can't carry a story if the story doesn't exist. I thought the author was indulging him self by offering up his obvious talent for writing really beautiful phrases, and then sticking them haphazardly together and trying to pass them off as great literature.
The story (?) was supposed to be about an unnamed English flier who was terribly burned in a plane crash who was left behind along with a nurse who refuses to leave when the hospital moves on. Right. Like that would happen in the military! If anyone reads this blog and is interested in what the story is supposed to be about you can go to amazon and see what other readers tried to make of it. Amazon reader reviews For my part It passeth all understanding.
