What a GREAT read. I have become a fan of AJ Cronin and am in the process of acquiring as many of his novels as I can. Each one is riveting and holds your attention. The descriptions and pictures that Cronin painted in each chapter continue to hold you ... and want you to keep reading. Its amazing .... The Citadel was first published in 1939 ... and here it is 2010 and I'm a first time reader of the book and finding it just a great read ....
