Book Rating
This is one of my most favourite books. I’ve recommended it to friends and family to read, I’ve even bought it as presents for them. I loved it. It’s one of those books that you can become completely immersed in. I really empathised with the hardships, bravery and courage of the characters. This was the first Kristin Hannah novel I read, and I’m so glad I picked it up (yet another of my choices based purely on the cover!). I’ve never been a big war novel fan, but this caught my imagination from the outset. Well worth reading!!

Movie Favorite

"Humphrey Bogart, Gloria Grahame, and Nicholas Ray: the film-noir hat trick. Based on Dorothy B. Hughes’s very different but equally brilliant novel, it’s doomy, romantic, pitch-black, and unforgettable. The Criterion extras here are particularly superb, with special attention to the movie’s turbulent backstory (Ray and Grahame were divorcing during production). This is the movie for which I’m most intensely evangelical. It feels as vital now as it did a half century ago."
