review 1: I so enjoyed two other Lent books I've read so I was looking forward to this one. A disappointment. This is a sad love story; the characters are interesting, preplexing really, the main character inconsistent, in my opinion. Much of the plot is predictable, especially the end.I would like to have know the real outcome of life of the Russian cello player, The trouble of the son who returns from WWI seems real and his father's failureto understand is a little troubling. Such a good man and yet-------I do not think you have to read this one, BUT I do recommed Lost Nation and In the FAll.
review 2: "In the Fall" was one of my favorite novels ever, so I approached this one with high hopes. One of the protagonist's ancestors left the Netherlands under shady cir... morecumstances, so when Henry travels back there, I expected him to begin unraveling a complex, fascinating tale in the way that "In the Fall" kept adding layers of family history. But this novel was much simpler, with virtually no surprises, and I found myself feeling disappointed. less
