Summary: An excellent, thoughtful, novel; a classic.
Comment: I ran across this book at a used book store some years ago, read it, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I cannot for the life of me understand why it isn't on the usual lists for classic works, as on par with the very best of them. The novel describes the personal growth and observations of one man in England between WWI and WWII, a soldier-...- schoolteacher with a deep sense of honor and compassion. For any movie buffs, _Goodbye, Mr. Chips_ is closest in character to this book, although the book has far greater depth. This book has been well received by all those to whom I have personally recommended it, and I hope all new readers will enjoy it as well.

Summary: You'll find Delderfield a delight!
Comment: I've read most of Delderfield's fictional work and he's definitely in my Top 10. His characters are varied and richly presented, his understanding of the human condition profound, and his stories wonderful adventures in the human struggle to find truth, meaning and happiness. To Serve Them All My Days is the story of one man's struggle to face the seeming insensibilities of human tragedy (beginning with his experiences in the trenches of WWI) and finding humanity, understanding and, ultimately, salvation of the human spirit. Part of the joy in reading it is seeing the maturing of a man and the evolution of his thinking, from youth to late middle age, as he meets and overcomes hardships, prejudice, and even class struggle. Written before the age of PC, it is a story that rings true to the universal principles of surmounting life's difficulties. The truly rewarding life comes not in avoiding adversity but in overcoming it. This book is a treasure!

Summary: Beautiful
Comment: I love this book. It has been quite a long time since I've read a book with such depth and realistic characters. The people in this book ARE REAL. I am having trouble putting into words how much I loved this book. It made me laugh and cry, and I was very depressed when I had finished it. If you like Dickens, I think you will enjoy this author's style.
The mini-series is now out on DVD. I will be getting it soon, and it is hard for me to think about much else. I can't wait to see it; eleven hours! Excellent.
