A great blend of dark fantasy and horror. Barker uses his warped imagination to tell an epic story.
A great history of the liberation of Paris. Like most good histories, this book is full stories that reinforce the axiom that the truth is stranger than fiction.
This is a completely engrossing story. The two main characters each dies in 1988 only to awaken as a teenager in 1963 with adult knowledge and wisdom intact and the ability to make a new set of choices. Different spouses, lovers, children, careers, await them in each go-round of the past 25 years, as well as slightly altered versions of world events.
Written in 1943, when all the men drank rye and all the women were platinum blondes. This hard-boiled story is fun but the plot is a little weak.
