This review is from: Night Shall Overtake Us (Paperback)

Most of the reviewers discuss the characters of this book and the romance, and I agree with their assessments that this book is excellent on that score. However, the main reason this book is good is that it artfully demonstrates how the characters were changed by World War I. As the book begins, the characters are interested in society, social conventions, getting married, etc. They expect WWI to be over quickly. It is not, and the way it affects the people and the society makes this book a real standout. I bought this book when it was first published and recently re-read it, which says a lot, because I rarely re-read fiction. This book delivers much more than its cover indicates.

This is a book filled with everything and anything that you may be looking for. It's has romantic momets as well as tragic ones. There are funny and serious parts too. But the best thing about this book is that it is done in a biografical form which starts from their chilhood until adulthood. This book is definitely a book worth reading.

I read this book in a day and have read it sveral times since. It has everything you could want in a historical novel. The characters were so well drawn too - Tertius was adorable. And the ending was extremely satisfying.
