11-19-09 to 01-24-10 - This one was tough. I love Delderfield. I rank at the top with Dumas, Gabaldon, Austin and Tolkien but...it didn't get going till about a hundred pages in. Thankfully, it was rather short for him, and when I made it to page 100, I only had another 100 to go and the story finally got good.
This one was set at the end of WWII England seashore of Sandcombe. Nat was returning to town and his old job as a newspaper reporter. Delderfield got it right with all the different personalities small town, I could relate to [he's a master at that] but the story took too long to develop. All that being said I still think you should read the book.
