Whilst I haven't heard the tape of this book, I have read the novel many hundreds of times: it perfectly captures an era, and a feeling. The characters are young, naive and perfectly in tune with the England of WW2, yet seem as relevant to today's world as modern fictional characters. The book is just sheer romance: glow-worms, and pilots soaring through the air; beer in country pubs and love under the moon during midnight feasts. But the romance cannot prevent the book from delving into tragic depths, and the heroine/narrator conveys the heartache perfectly, leaving aside sentimentality but gives a sense of hope. This is a book to fall in love to and with, - I defy anyone not to lose their hearts to Splodge, to Mac, to the Count and especially to Fitz - to carry with you at all times, just to cheer yourself up with a favourite paragraph, or allow a certain chapter to express your bluest moods for you.

This is the most beautiful book I've ever read. I read it first probably 30 years ago, and re-read it every couple of years. It is gentle, honest, brutal and simply delightful.

This story was adapted for television when I was 16 and after watching it I went out and bought the book. I have read it many times and recommend it to others whenever I get the chance. The story is simply beautiful and conjures up what I imagine life would have been like during the early days of World War II. Bates writes in the first person as a young English girl, who falls in love during one of the most testing times Britain has ever known. The characters are wonderfully crafted and you feel for each and every one of them.
