The Flight of the Heron
'The Flight of the Heron' Summary
The story can be read as straight romance, gay romance, or a superbly researched historical adventure. The author was a secretary at an Oxford College, and had previously been a nurse in France during the First World War, and one can assume that she knew exactly what she was writing about in all respects. And she did the job brilliantly; the book's funny and moving by turns, and though the ending is sad, it's also absolutely epic and stays in the mind for a long, long time.
