About This Item
Very little wear. Deckle-edged pages are clean, tight and unmarked. Binding is solid. A little pink spot on the bottom page ends for some reason or another. I take liberties putting this in the Historical Fiction category, since the history is only ten years prior to the publication date. But when I tried to look up the genre on the internet, it came back: Novel. Not really helpful. seems the hero of this book has a thing for the works of Graham Greene, even becoming a correspondent with Greene. When he dies, she and her two friend decide to dive into the Algerian Civil Wat to save intellectuals from the Islamist extremists. I would imagine that didn't go quite as planned. So, it is a history novel without being all that removed from the history, a war novel of an unusual stripe, a romance with a dead writer, and, I guess, at times a bit funny. If I had the time, I could read it and provide a knowledgeable review, but I could say that about a lot of the other seven hundred books still waiting to be put online.
