The story continues...

I fully intend to read all of this series. It continues to be an excellent story.

An excellent ending to the trilogy.

The final installment in the story of the Deverills is no less exciting than its fore-bearers. Following the family through WWII and into the mid-1900s, no stone is left unturned in the finale of the series. I found the read to be swift and exhilarating. As it progresses you want to shout at the characters as the truth stares them in the eyes and their selfish desires get the best of them. Unlike the first novel which glazed over the Great War from the youngster's perspective rather than those actually on the front lines, this one follows the characters through the war in much more detail - to the readers delight. I found myself tearing up throughout the book, for Montefiore creates beautiful scenes both tragic and romantic that show human nature just as it is. The book exudes authenticity when it comes to human emotion and family dramas. It was a thrilling read and Montefiore gave justice where it was due and left tragedy where it was needed - anything else would have been unrealistic and more of a let down for the shear predictability of it. An amazing read, especially if you find yourself with about 8 hours to kill!
