As could be anticipated by his many readers, Bryan Forbes’ latest novel is not a conventional love story. Set in occupied Germany during the immediate post-war period, The Choice is a disturbing story of lost illusions and the conflict faced by a young British soldier who is forced to choose between love and conscience. It is part of the author’s skill with his material that he takes us into the heart of human darkness where morality is blurrred. It is a novel painted on a large canvas, the most challenging book Bryan Forbes has written in his long and varied career.
