About this title

Synopsis

Thriller writer Jack Higgins, the author of "Night of the Fox", "Confessional" and "The Eagle Has Landed", departs from his normal adventure novels with this unusual story, a post-war portrait of a young man's growth to maturity in the Yorkshire town of Manningham.

From Library Journal

Higgins, author of many best-selling titles, the most recent being Night of the Fox (LJ 1/15/87), here reveals himself as the Julio Iglesias of thriller authors. This thinly disguised autobiographical novel is essentially a catalog of Higgins's remarkable number of sexual conquests in postwar England (were women then really this willing?). The author has been excused flimsy characterization in the past because his plots are so exciting, but here his weakness is glaringly obvious. However, this short memoir cum novel will be sought by the author's many fans to fulfill their curiosity. The casual browser will pass it over as yet another sophomoric reminiscence, barely above locker room conversation.
