"What is a triangle, but a heart with the grace taken out?"

This book was the basis for the excellent 1944 film starring Alan Ladd and Loretta Young. The story concerns a wealthy young woman who contracts viral menengitis and subsquently goes deaf, and the efforts of a brash young doctor who attempts to cure her. "And Now Tomorrow" is a great beach read; it keeps your attention and even though it clocks in at almost 400 pages I read it in a day and a half. The story is engrossing, and the description of a small town and the changes that come to it is excellent. My only quibble is the disposal of my favorite character halfway through the novel. Other than that, this is a great book that was once very popular but has now slipped into obsurity. Worth checking out.GRADE: B (B+ if you haven't seen the movie and don't know what's coming.)
