Customer Reviews

A classic novel!

Calais is my favourite all-time read!The story of Arlette Morgan and Anthony De Forest and the journey of their lives in a world of theatre and film. The quote on the back cover sums up what I percieved from this tale - "Apart they are superb, together they are sensational". I hope I got that the right way around from memory...I have read this book many times over the years and every time I read it I find something more that I either missed or hadn't interpreted the same way before. A book that allows a reader to believe in a world where emotions are allowed to be powerful and influence the lives of the characters in a way that is certainly not the norm in my life! The literary and theatrical references abound and are so well researched and details that if you have an interest in either, it can be indulged.I recommend "Calais" to anyone who likes a compelling read about people and the human psyche rather than a plot focussed on activities and environmental descriptives.In summary - a classic.
