It has been many years since I had the pleasure of reading this book, but the enjoyment of having done so remains. It is much more than a WWIIstory or Romance. The characters are outstanding, and the plot engaging. This is a BIG story. My mother and I have spent a lot of time in the past fifteen years or so casting the miniseries. Of course, we wouldn't really want a movie, they never are the same, are they? I wish I had a copy to re-read -- same old story, I loaned it out and never got it back...If you ever come across a copy, don't hesitate to read it. A treat that lasts and lasts...

A Farewell to France has to be one of the best, romantic novels I have ever read as well as the only book I bought three times. Its one of those great stories that one can read over and over and yet still enjoy. I especially love the detail and descriptions of Paris, St. Germain de Pres and the Champagne region of France. Like the previous reviewer, I have always hoped the book would be turned into a movie. I totally recommend Farewell to France for those who enjoy historical fiction, love France, appreciate Champagne and search for passionate love stories.

This book is set in France during the German occupation. I found it one of those "can't put it down" books. In fact I have reread it again a couple of times over the years. I have several other books by the same author and enjoy them just as much.
