review 1: I highly recommend this novel. I really felt that I came to know and care about the characters, and I loved following their individual stories, waiting to see how it all would come together. And I especially liked that it was historical fiction. The author’s descriptions really brought you through the eras. There were events that I had heard of before, but now could really envision, such as the voyage of The St. Louis. Lastly, there's something about reading a historical fiction while on a train, which I did while commuting to and from work...also makes a great gift :)
review 2: I never write reviews of books because everyone reads things differently but I downloaded this book after reading several good reviews about it. This book was awful. Besides the f
... moreact that whenever the author described a hotel or a room it sounded like she plagiarized from a brochure, but she obviously must think her readers are idiots, since she kept repeating the history the characters had. I'm near the end of the book and she once again tells the story of the characters as if I were reading the book jacket. I'm not going to finish this book, which I never do. However, I'm not wasting anymore time on it. There are far more better books to be reading. I wish I could get my money back for this one. less

Holocaust romance. Chicago references were fun.
