“Book Descriptions: Our respect for the law is tempered-sometimes-by our admiration for those who successfully break it. Outlaws, bandits, escaping prisoners-we can't help being on their side, at any rate on paper at a safe distance in a novel.
In Emeric Pressburger's story our judgement can easily be suspended, but although entertained and excited we are not left with the feeling that we have been tricked into condoning crime.
Questions of religion, of conscience, of love, of loyalty, even of justive, with things the law can take mo account of- these are at the back of a story where comedy comingles with tragedy in the high pyrenees.
Who was in the right we may never be able to decide. Only one thing is sure: this is a highly original novel, with the elements of a thriller, the romance of banditry in the mountains, the comedy of authority set at defiance, the undercurrent of ancient wrongs and of more recent political rancour. (Daniel George in the 'Broadsheet')” DRIVE
