It's breezy! It's fun! It was made into a great movie starring Leslie Howard! It's written almost entirely from the viewpoint of Maurgerite Blakeney nee St Just! She's ... pretty great too!
Come on, either you know what this book is about or my telling you isn't going to make you care. It's the story of a married couple falling in love.

I originally read this for school, it ended up perdy good. It's a little slow in the begining, but it gets exciting later on in the book.
