The kappillan of Malta di Nicholas Monsarrat
Used in Malta by Ågot Kvindesland Millietha 09.02.07
Borrow from John Duncan. Not a bad read, but not my style of story.
This review contains spoilers.
****
This is a detailed story, taking you through every year of the war with a varied cast of characters. Some of the cast changes up throughout the book, and some are more well-rounded than others. Given the theatre of operations, there weren’t many female characters, and a high percentage of the ones that do exist end up dying.
