4.0 out of 5 stars A light summer read, 30 Jun 2009
By MaryAnne "dubai-reader" (Dubai United Arab Emirates) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
After a bit of a slow start, this book became a quick, enjoyable read, let down at the end by a slightly silly finalé.

Set during the long hot summer preceeding the First World War, the narrator is a young doctor on his first posting. He finds himself in a French village with little to do, in a practice devoted to pampering wealthy middle-aged women. When the mysterious Katya appears requiring medical aid for her brother, he is besotted.
The book's strengths are the atmospheric rendering of that Summer of 1914 and wonderful descriptions of a traditional Basque fete.
The characterisations are a little weak but the book is short and to the point, a good beach read, let down by a slightly unbelievable ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, 9 Sep 2007
By Mr. Stephen J. Bailey - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had never heard of Trevanian before and bought the book on a whim. I am so glad I did. I read a lot of books and found this one outstanding. The writing is entertaining and extremely humorous it had me, literally, laughing out loud. I will be buying more books by Trevanian on the strength of this one.
