The Great Fire by Shirley Hazzard

3.0

Set post WWI a love story between an older man and a much younger woman. Her dieing brother approves whereas their not so nice Laurent’s are against the relationship. Beautifully and descriptive wording encompasses the life of the main characters as they are parted and go to opposite ends of the world. However I doubt if I will remember much of the story as it didn’t ‘grab’ me.
