The Great Fire

Shirley Hazzard


This is set in England just after the end of the Second World War. It is terribly serious and has an old-fashioned feel. The dialogue was unconvincing and it didn't seem realistic. Doreen didn't like it at all.

Christine liked this book and thought it a convincing portrayal of men. She thought the sentences flowed well and showed good use of language.
