Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books The White Road (Morland Dynasty #28)

August 1914

The whole country is thrilled by the declaration of war. The British Expeditionary Force goes off to France to defend gallant little Belgium, and thousands more young men rush to volunteer, hoping to see action before the war ends at Christmas. At home everyone competes to be doing the most for the war effort. The Morlands have their share of volunteers, and no-one can say they aren't at the very heart of things. But when Christmas comes the war is far from over, and nine in ten of the men who marched, singing, down the white road to Mons have fallen.

There was heavy emphasis on how brutal and almost inhuman, the Germans were which made me cringe a bit. I suppose when it's written from the English point of view that's what happens.An

Do not read this if you do not like history especially if you don't like history about war. This is 75% World War I, 1914. I think it took the author too long to develop Jessie into a character that I could like. She did it in the last 40 pages of the book. Now she will have to kill off Ned, which will be easy since he's a soldier, how she is going to get rid of Maude I don't know. This author dumps these superfluous people off frequently enough, I know eventually Jessie and Bertie will be

At first I thought this book would be nothing but a blow by blow account of fighting by the English army (not my favourite thing to read about). But after the first hundred pages, this really heats up- an incredibly fascinating look at the first year of World War I. Highly enjoyable.
