Lessons for Survivors

Lessons for Survivors (2018) Charlie Cochrane (Cambridge Fellows)

Set in England in 1919.

Jonty and Orlando both survived the war–although not without scars.

“It would prove to me that everything was back to normal. That the last five years hadn’t spoiled the world forever.”

They walked on in silence, each with his thoughts.

“Do you really think that the world’s been spoiled?” Orlando hated to hear his friend so glum.

But despite needing to write the acceptance lecture for his professorship, Orlando is quietly wishing for a little more excitement–another mystery.

Possibly so he doesn’t have to write his lecture.

“You have no idea how hard I’m finding it.”

“Of course I do.” Jonty would have thrown up his hands if it wouldn’t have sent all the papers flying. “I have to live with you, don’t forget,”

The mystery seemed to wander all over the place–or possibly it was just my attention. Regardless, what kept me reading is simply that I like Jonty and Orlando so much.
