Riassunto

Recensione

Praise for the British Edition of The Code of Love:

"Linklater writes with such . . . compassion that it is impossible to read this book and not be moved by the thought of what this couple's generation suffered, both during and after the war."
--Daily Telegraph (London)

"A tale such as this depends largely on the telling and this is done by Andro Linklater with skill and sensitivity."
--The Spectator (London)

"What makes the book compelling is its sympathy for real people coping with a world conflagration that had nothing to do with them. It celebrates their courage and takes a humanist view of their weakness."
--The Herald (Scotland)
