I just read a couple of reviews of "Bitter Eden," a novel about an Allied soldier captured in North Africa and his experiences in the Italian and German POW camps. It focuses on the relationships and bonding that occurs between the men, in what is, of course, and all-male environment. The book was published in England, and is just now making it to the US.
Sounds like an interesting novel, though some reviewers find it over-wrought and melodramatic.
We'll see. Personally, I don't really mind a little melodrama, as long as it is well written. And while I'm not a fan of over-wrought emotion in plays, I don't mind it as much in books.
