review 1: "The Scent of Lemon Leaves" was written by Spanish author Cara Sanchez and translated into English. The main characters are interesting and devote themselves to hunting the last of the Nazi criminals still living. The Nazi characters are well-drawn and while reading the description make it easy for the reader to imagine the horrors they perpetrated in the Nazi camps.About three quarters of the way through the book, I lost interest and feel that the pace of the book could have been picked up. The denouement was, while not overly uplifting, appropriate.Nowhere in the book did I find a reference to the scent of lemon leaves. Perhaps this is a Spanish saying whose meaning I do not know. The closest Google reference to lemon leaves that I feel fits the book is that the leaves o... moref the lemon tree are used as an astringent and cleansing/ healing agent.If anyone knows the actual meaning of the title, please fill me in :)
review 2: 3.5 stars. So much of the story was so improbable: an elderly Holocaust survivor teams up with a pregnant young woman to expose a cache of ex-Nazis, that at times the story was exasperating. The plot plods along at times and some of the twists are almost silly. And what was with the obscure title? The word "lemon" is never mentioned in the entire book. An interesting twist on Holocaust fiction but I've read better. less
