Edition: Reprint Edition.
Material type: Text; Format:
print

The bull is not killed / Sarah Dearing. by
Material type: Text; Format:

; Literary form:
Fiction
Publication details: Toronto, Canada ; New York : Stoddart, 1998
Dissertation note: Some of the best love stories are set against the background of great events. Think of For Whom the Bell Tolls and The English Patient. Sarah Dearing, while not yet in the same league as Hemingway or Ondaatje, has nevertheless written an engaging romance that takes place in Portugal in the days leading up to the 1974 Revolution. That was when a group of young army officers almost bloodlessly overthrew a 48-year old fascist dictatorship.
