“This novel has an immediacy that will shock some readers…the poignancy of the love story calls to mind Ernest Hemingway. I imagine Wine of Violence will prove to be one of the rare romances that appeals to men.” New York Herald-Tribune
Rowell Reardon is a First Lieutenant sent to London during World War II to help plan the Normandy invasion… and who copes with the stresses of war by bedding a string of women before finally finding love, himself and his fate.
