review 1: This was an odd read. Can't say I really enjoyed it, nor did I dislike it either. It was just sort of there. It's a fairly easy read all in all but no idea what the point was or what the author was trying to impart. It begins sort of nowhere and traveled to an end that was no where and in between was some decent writing, acceptable prose but for what? I feel certain there was intended to be some great mystical meaning, some deep profound understanding....but for the life of me I surely missed it. I can say the characters were fairly well drawn but the dialog was a bit wooden. I can not slam it in any way but neither can I give it a strong recommendation. It's a decent time filler I suppose. Faint praise, but a bit of praise nonetheless.

She tells the story of her childhood in Russia as well as her immigrant adulthood from the context of the short-stay motel in Connecticut where she begins her American dream journey. Her lack of judgment and prejudice offer a rare view of life less
