I have not read Ben Elton, I thought he is mostly known for his comedy writing, but this book is a heartbreaking story of twin brothers separated through war. On my to-read list.

TrishB This is a great read, as are most of his ‘serious‘ books 👍🏻 5y
Eggs Looks so good 📚❤️📚 5y

I really enjoyed this one.

arlenefinnigan That sounds really interesting. I've never read any of Ben Elton's novels, how's his writing? Obviously his TV comedy writing is brilliant but whenever I've seen him recently I've found him quite irritating. 5y
TrishB @arlenefinnigan I don‘t really like his comedy novels, but have really enjoyed his historical novels. 5y
Cinfhen I love this cover #BonusCoverCrush 5y
Caroline2 I like Ben Elton‘s writing, stacked! 😉 5y
Ruthiella I didn‘t know he also wrote “serious” books! 😮 5y

Mehso-so

I'm really not sure what i think about this book so I'm going bang splat in the middle with 3 stars.
To start with I'm a huge fan of Ben Elton, I adore a lot of his books, this is however the first 'serious' book I've read of his.

Sorry for another gratuitous kitty picture but look at these two love birds 💕it's rare to see them bump heads like this, usually they fight for this spot.

Best summer reading yet. Why aren't more talking about this book? Dreadful historical fiction at its best.
