Ummm...I completely agree with your review? (Don't laugh!) But I said in my review that while I didn't necessarily enjoy reading it, it really is literary fiction at its best because it makes you think! .-= S. Krishna´s last blog ..Ice Land – Betsy Tobin =-.

This sounds like pretty intense reading. However, I think I will still give it a try sometime. I like books that deliver a strong message .-= Nish´s last blog ..It Never Rains but Pours… =-.

Thank you for your great review, Meghan. This is one I am hoping to read soon. It does sound like it takes on some very difficult issues. .-= Literary Feline´s last blog ..Review: Richard Stark's The Hunter by Darwyn Cooke =-.

Thanks for the honest assessment. I still hope to get a chance to read it. I hope it's okay that I linked to your review on War Through the Generations. .-= Anna´s last blog ..NIGHT OF FLAMES by Douglas W. Jacobson =-.

Great review! I've this book in my TBR pile but I'm not so sure when I'd read it though. .-= Melody´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday =-.

I know what you mean - it's a hard book to recommend. I would have given it a much more enthusiastic endorsement if it had a better ending. .-= Elizabeth´s last blog ..The Nonfiction Files =-.

Very thoughtful review. I read this book and thought it was extremely deep and involving, but I also thought that it was very densely packed with plot elements. I am not sure if the story entirely worked for me, but I did feel like I learned from it. I think you did a great job relating your feelings and reactions to this book. .-= zibilee´s last blog ..The Private Papers of Eastern Jewel: A Novel by Maureen Lindley - 304 pgs =-.

The settings sound fabulous, but plot-wise this doesn't really seem like something I would go for. .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..Georgia O'Keeffe =-.
