R.F. Delderfield's Seven Men of Gascony was wonderful! The book's setting is all over Europe during the reign of Napoleon. The seven men are in Napoleon's Army, the reader lives the lives of these soldiers, their comrady, their deep friendship, their losses and their loves. Each one of these characters are very dear to me for their individual uniqueness that builds the team and advances the story.If you like historical sagas, this is a good one. From fighting in trenches in Germany to the burning of Moscow and finally the end at Waterloo, it gives the novel a great backdrop. It also addresses the social issues of what do with soldiers of a failed emperior after he is deposed - it showed the how and why these men would support Napoleon's failed return from exile.
Read the book!
