I always resist rating something lower than the average but I just didn't care about most of the characters in this book. Considering it is a character-driven novel and a long one at that, it felt like a failing. I did enjoy all of the WWII passages though. ( ) I tried, this time, to read this book analytically- to figure out why it means so much to me, why it looms so large in my head. I don't know that I have a rational answer- the protagonist is a Puritan, bound by duty and hampered by unnecessary suffering. His wife is presented as completely unlikeable, a martinet and a shrew. Really, there aren't a lot of characters here with whom I can identify even a little bit- but it doesn't matter. Somehow, for me, this novel exemplifies a generation. It explains things to me about World War Two, about the people who were caught up in it and changed by it, and how the sixties were born. It's a huge, sweeping portrait of a time that seems golden in retrospect. I adore it still. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
É resumida emDistinctions
Tells the story of five Harvard men, the women they loved, and the elegant car that came to symbolize their romantic youth. It is also the story of their coming-of-age in the dark days of WWII, and their unshakable loyalty to the lost dream of Camelot, of grace and style, in the decades that followed.
