4.0 out of 5 stars Bristow's most philosophical book, July 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Tomorrow is Forever (Paperback)

I almost threw this book across the room when I first started reading it. A lot of phrases and colloquialisms are very dated and rather offensive for this day and age. By the time you get through the entire book though, you realize Bristow had an intense purpose for the book, probably motivated by the war she was living in. Set during WWI and WWII, Bristow examines the motivations of war and the purpose of seeminly useless death. Through pain comes triumph and love and victory. For people whose lives have not been touched by war, this book can be a good lesson to remind us that lives were given not in vain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pain, mystery, love and war philosophy, June 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Tomorrow is Forever (Paperback)

I first read this book in German in the 1970s. It deals with a woman's pain suffered by the loss of her fiance to WW1 war efforts. She goes on with her life, gets married and starts her family. Years later an odd German man with disabilities enters the family's life. Suspicions mount in the woman's mind... is this the fiancee she lost years ago? She is just not sure. Meanwhile, this stranger becomes a mentor to her children and herself. While war philosophy abounds in this book, I see it primarily as a wonderful love story, one of the greatest I ever read! Gwen Bristow's style is gripping, a great read!

This review is from: Tomorrow is Forever (Paperback)

The Movie captured much of the book but omitted some minor parts;

however, this is a book or movie that one never really forgets.

It captures the human condition and emotions that are core to

one's suffering, loss and hope. We are all humble travelers in

search of comfort through meaning.
