This sounds like it would be a difficult book to read, especially if told from the perspective of a child. Perhaps the author cut off the story when she did because she plans on writing a sequel, as is often the case.Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-67434870843663240622011-08-05T17:50:04.835-05:002011-08-05T17:50:04.835-05:00I really think you have to be young enough to read...I really think you have to be young enough to read this sort of story and not come away totally shell-shocked.<br /><br />I'm too old now to read about such tragedy. It just becomes too much for me, Ryan - on several levels. What happened to displaced and interred people in WWII was horrific. <br /><br />Your review is very moving in itself.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-77490620711618855922011-08-05T15:50:05.547-05:002011-08-05T15:50:05.547-05:00This would shatter my heart.

I think narration through a child's eyes would work really well for me because they're so good at expressing the confusion we all feel in situations like that.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-48075621806320527412011-08-05T03:26:20.769-05:002011-08-05T03:26:20.769-05:00I do like that she narrates from a child's eye...I do like that she narrates from a child's eyes because that just makes it more realBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.com
