I was drawn into the story but somehow felt a bit disappointed. I think you stated why when you wrote, "none of whom were rounded enough to really stand out."<br /><br />I think I was longing for stronger character development. However, I've continued to think about this book many times since finishing it, so I know it made a strong impact.<br /><br />It also made me think of my Aunt Raija of Finland. She and her family were refugees from the Red Army when they overtook the family's homeland near St. Petersburg prior to WWII.<br /><br />Enjoyed your review! Guess I could have waited and borrowed your copy of this book :)Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01025717749020051626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-33658246789597011892010-07-04T12:51:24.773-07:002010-07-04T12:51:24.773-07:00I'm so excited to read this one!
