I have just read the last pages of this book, ending with the quote:

"Life is a whole, and good and ill must be accepted together." (Winston Churchill 1931)

I finished that one. It is great! Very believable characters, very interesting story line. And a load of food for thought.
And it seems that is is a huge success anyway I own the 25th reprint of the first edition 😲

As so many have said before me - it's all about priorities... 🙂 But the book will always be there when you do find the time - no hurry really.
