Beau Geste

1976P.C. Wren

4.7/5

Questions of duty and decency as shield over a loved one are examined in this wonderful novel of adventure and friendship. Michael, Digby and John (the Geste brothers) run away to join the French Foreign Legion in Algeria after the "Blue Water" sapphire disappears and Lady Brandon (the aunt who has raised them) suspects all three. As the brothers become soldiers they learn that not all threats are faced in combat; enemies often hide inside the fort where you think you are safe. David Chase does a fantastic job of vocal characterization for each character - so glad to get this book out of my 'classic bucket-list' - now I will watch the movie adaptations!
