Picked this up when i realised that in my mad, stupid panic to pack for my holiday I had neglected to include any reading matter! Never expected to get too far into it (we have two young kids who, at the ages of 4 & 2 haven’t grasped the concept of reading for relaxation, or, if they have, realise there’s nothing in it for little people who can’t read) but polished it off in a few short days. To be more specific, most of this book was read with the backdrop of the Heysen Range (Flinders Ranges, SA) embracing sunrise to make those of you who enjoy pure natural beauty as a form of relaxation truly jealous.

Brief synopsis: it’s a Forsyth novel. Enjoyable and, if you’re into modern european history, somewhat enlightening. It is purely coincidental that it looks at the post WWII Germany that I have been reading (and have yet to finish) in a previous post.
