## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviviting
*by S***R on May 31, 2025*

I couldn't put this book down. Although it was a heartbreaking story about the holocaust, it was also filled with human kindness and much love.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crime and punishment
*by N***K on April 29, 2025*

It was difficult for me to stop reading this book and go about my day.It is not only a historical fiction novel, but also a thriller, a love story and a reminder that evil must be stopped at all costs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compelling Story, Mediocre Writing
*by S***Y on May 31, 2012*

For a story line that is woven into Holocaust history, the book rates four stars. But, the author falls short in the areas of scene transition, suffusing the secondary characters (Catherine, Liam, et al)with adequate descriptions, and providing enough back story for them (in the earlier pages)to help the reader understand their importance to one another. Dialogue ranges from realistic to amateurish, rating just three stars.Other negatives include:* Bolson's research is evident, albeit flawed in places. For example, pogroms plagued Poland long before World War II, although one of his characters claims otherwise.* The early lack of character description weakens the reader's bonding to the protagonists.* Scenes with the lawyer are usually set in her office/her home and inevitably begin with a focus on a mug of tea and/or food--unimaginative and boring.To his credit, Bolson's best work is his secondary story of life in Poland. He was able to engage the reader and maintain momentum, especially in the second half of the book. Even the relationships of the present day characters improved in the latter section of the story. Maybe this book is a warm-up for the author, with better things to come.For those who lack information about the rise of Hitler and Naziism's spread through Eastern Europe, this book offers a narrowly focused history lesson. It includes the point of view of an elderly Jewish Holocaust survivor but, takes pains to describe gentiles who risked their lives to live according to their moral compasses and not by the dictates of a madman.At times poignant, this story-within-a-story is compelling but, belabored by its negative features. While I would not decline to read a future book by Bolson, it wouldn't be my first choice.
