5.0 out of 5 stars
What a terrific discovery! In a word: Nice!,
By Tom Bruce (East Moriches, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Comrades of the Storm (Hardcover)
This book was my introduction to the works of Peter B. Kyne, a writer from the 1920s and '30s who was not too highly respected by critics. The critics be hanged. This is a charming book peopled with characters that reached into my soul and stirred inner feelings that had been lying dormat. It is a romance. It is humor. It is a moralistic tale. Two people at the depths of the depression struggle through, aided by their outstanding code of ethics and a generous benefactor. The book is filled with improbable coincidences, but the story is told so charmingly, it doesn't matter. If you like well written dialogue, interesting situations, and feel-good endings, this is the book for you. I can't wait to read more of Kyne's efforts.
