And he is *by J***D on Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2015* Not as delicious as 'Corelli's Mandolin.' Nor as driven narratively. The author's shining moments are nearly all spent during the First World War in the air as an early RAF pilot. Over France, Germany, the Channel. To such a degree that an imbalance is allowed to develop: the man is also supposed to be in love. And he is, with his airplanes. As for the lovely target of his physical attentions, she hardly counts. Loved once by one of the hero's friends,she cannot get over what she anticipated would have been a thrilling marriage. And she quite consciously makes our hero pay for her life of memory. Although this is wrapped in Episcopalian (C of E) attitudes makes no difference. She is selfish and, for too long a while, stupid.This is a "straight" line narrative. This by itself is refreshing, as we increasingly meet stories and lives truncated, collaged, battered and bongo-ed to rhythm's with which we are not familiar. The author offers us characterizations of secondary players, many of which are wonderfully perceptive and sympathetic,others of which are stock. If one is looking for Julian Fellowes,keep on walking.To have flown and fought as our hero has is brilliantly presented. The rest is not. The book is weak Masterpiece Theatre, although truth be told you won't stop reading it. It is,and one hates to write this,good enough of its kind,and if you like the "kind," this may be for you.John Neufeld,author ofLisa,Bright and Dark (Kindle) and Edgar Allan (also Kindle-d) ### ⭐⭐⭐ Sweet, light story about a very serious war *by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2016* The story is sweet and captures the innocence of that bygone era around WWI but it sometimes seems almost simplistic in its characters' depiction of a very brutal and devastating period in history when life changed irrevocably.I would have liked more development of the characters themselves; the potential is there: Rosie, the main character who grapples with the loss of the love of her life and her religious beliefs; a sister who is obviously involved in a lesbian relationship; the fiancé who goes to war; the flying ace, the mother who cannot come to terms with the times changing, etc...so much potential for great characters but somehow they seem superficial and I did not feel depth in this novel. I would describe it as sweet and entertaining but a lightweight, ### ⭐⭐⭐ Disappointed. *by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2016* Since Corelli's Mandolin (read twice) is one of my favorite books ever (I loaned out a copy which was never returned, so I bought another just to have it in my library), I was so looking forward to this novel by De Bernieres. If you are a man interested in flying aces during World War 1 and do not mind whole chapters of descriptions of the acrobats performed by these airmen and the details of each type of plane, its capabilities, etc., you will like this book. I am pushing myself to finish it, as I want to give it a chance, but it frankly bores me to death. I've skipped whole chapters. The British phraseology and words and expressions used in the book by Brits of that era are totally Greek to me, and half the time I didn't know what they were talking about. If you are looking for another Corelli's Mandolin, you will be very disappointed. De Bernieres is a wonderful writer, but don't expect this book to give you the same high. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/33750448-the-dust-that-falls-from-dreams-a-novel-vintage-international](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/33750448-the-dust-that-falls-from-dreams-a-novel-vintage-international) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
