Superb novel touching and intreging. Keeps you on the edge until the very end. The references to Nazi Germany are chilling and lend a very sad edge to the story. Nevertheless, this just adds to the intreging and relevance to the Pact. A book everyone should read. Highly enjoyable from beginning to end.

Good characterization -- so-so story
15 May 1999
Format:Hardcover
While I did finish the book, I was never emotionally committed to either the characters or the story line. Basically, the theme of the book is if you have enough money, you can get anything done. The pact between the friends was a bit unrealistic but because the characters were all quite well off financially, they could leave their lives, jobs, families, etc. for weeks at a time without any problems.
I picked up this hard back book for $4.98 at a clearance rack and it's about all that it was worth. Not on my list of recommendations to my friends.
A very good book
9 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I think it would make a great film should someone decide to do a screen play. I stumbled upon this novel when browsing through discounted books at a store. A rare find--mystery, intrigue, and friends willing to go to the wall. You will not be disappointed.
You'll not soon forget . . .

Format:Paperback
In 1976, a helicopter crash in England renders three teen-agersorphans just two weeks after their graduation from the American Schoolin London. Originally from the US, the three--Olivia Segal, the daughter of Jewish survivors of the Holocaust; Annie Aldrich, Protestant from San Francisco, and Jamie Arias, Catholic scion of a great shipping family from Rhode Island--became friends while their parents worked in England.
Banding together, they create a pact--whenever one of them is in need of comfort, friends, whatever, it makes no difference--the other two will drop everything to go to the aid of the one who asks. ...THE PACT is a riveting, can't-put-it-down novel that will remain in your mind and your heart for a long time after you've read the final page. This is Hilary Norman's eighth book. If you've not read any of the others, you'll want to, after you've read THE PACT.
