We are watching the BBC 1987 series. The Q.s at this point always are or should be - Was the adaptation a faithful one? Is the book better than the film? Can the book be read and not spoil the film? Or the reverse?
The Fortunes of War: The Balkan Trilogy and The Levant Trilogy together, come to an impressive 1492 pp., 3 1/2 " ( 6.5 cm) thick in the Phoenix editions.
Not to everyone's taste, but easy reading. Have you got some time?
