Unabridged Audiobook
Interesting. Written in 1959.i The characters are so bland. There is no passion. The married couple had an infant and the author referred to the child as an ‘it’. Just interesting.
A book about the human condition, all of us carrying on with a stiff upper lip despite death creeping closer with every day that passes. People get all caught up in trying to analyze the Cold War, apocalyptic trappings of this beautiful novel, when all that is secondary to how each character meets the certainty of his or her mortality.
Great classic book. Not a “feel good” story but a thoughtful look at human fragility.
