Review:I read this book back when it was first published, and also enjoyed the tv mini-series. The 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor inspired me to revisit it. It is a wonderful way to understand history of early WWII, in fact, I am going to go ahead and re-read the sequel, War and Remembrance.

Review:Absolutely gorgeous book. I'm so pleased to have this and read it. It's a classic that is as classic as they come. The previous owner took excellent care of it.

Review:A very funny and (sorry, Mom) accurate portrait of the life of the modern singleton. Bridget made me giggle, cringe, and grieve for her, often in the same day. Now if only I can get my *own* life to have such a happy ending... Read more

Review:Most of lm Montgomerys books are very similar in the story line. This one was very different and entertaining. I find it a great read, very enjoyable. A little more on the scandalous side for the time it was written, making it even more interesting. Read more
