This was an amazing read; there is
devastating, life-altering action at the
very beginning and I am immediately
drawn in as I'm already attached to
the characters. There are several
mysteries going on all at once, sort of
wrapped around the bigger picture it's fascinating because the big picture
mystery is one I did not even see
coming at all. It is rare that any form
of media is able to surprise me as I
tend to predict everything but this
novel did just that - and at several
turns. D'Ettore also manages to give a
very believable picture of Nazi
Germany and a glimpse of the States
during this time as well, making it all
the more interesting as I am
submerged into the lives of people on
both sides of the major political
discord.
I feel any waking hours I spend not
reading this book are lived not nearly
as fully as when I am submerged into
it.
This book reads easily as it is very
well written/spoken and the dialogue
feels time-appropriate to me (of
course I wasn't alive for this period). I
was unable to put it down until I
reached the end - I highly recommend
this book.
