Another book that I feared would never end. The book takes place in the 18th century prior to the Revolutionary War. Twin sons of Virginia "nobility" visit their ancestral home in England and have a variety of experiences in the old country. One son ends up in the British Army and in Canada and from there, goes home again. The other marries (beneath him - according to the family) and stays in England. The most interesting part of the book was towards the end with the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. The second son has gone home and the twins (who are deeply connected) find themselves fighting on opposite sides. I found the British view of the war the most interesting part of the book and it made me wonder, had I lived back then, whose side would I have been on? 3 stars. Don't read it if you're looking for action. It was rather like reading a diary. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
