Finished! It seems a little weird to call a book about Jewish refugees in the advent of WW II "overly melodramatic," but I felt this book was just that, with very clunky prose at times and an odd vagueness to it that made me feel disconnected to these characters I genuinely wanted to care about. It might have been a translation issue, but I feel like the story had good bones, we just never really got that deep under the skin. Mediocre without the impact I feel the story deserved. #reading #bibliophile #thegermangirl #armandolucascorrea #books https://www.instagram.com/p/CVNYjGkFbCL/?utm_medium=tumblr
