Query: Hypnotic, but a little weaker than "Fortunes of War"

A good set of sequels to the Balkan trilogy; in some ways superior (the war narrative) and in others a bit of a letdown (the random encounters of Harriet get a little hard to stomach). Much more coarse than the first books, particularly in a gratuitous and unnecessarily graphic sex scene, but the characters are well-drawn
