I had it in my luggage when I was returning to the Caribbean, but unfortunately, this place only gave me the case and nothing inside, or I would have lent it to you.
It's about a expatriate lieutenant and his love affair with an English nurse during World War I. It sounds bland by that alone, but it's a good book.

Sounds like something I'll have to check out! Well...whenever we get out of this mess.
