review 1: This was a book club book. It wouldn't have been on my radar otherwise. That's what I love about my book club, I often get to read good books I would otherwise miss. Which makes me think of how many other great books there are out there that I'll never get the chance to read. Anyways, this book was very good. I definitely recommend it. It takes place in Denmark and Lithuania so I was a bit confused on the geographical aspect, but that's my fault, not the book's. The author crafts an engaging storyline with well defined characters. This book is translated, so I bet it's even better in the original language, read by someone who knows the culture and geography.
review 2: A good read, good pace and interesting and captivating plot. The trouble is, once the... more reader knows the raison d' etre underlying the action, all else renders predictable. The denouement and ending does not hold to the allure of the narrative and the last paragraphs seems to focus on a sub-main character who is also an incidental character; not the driving forces of the storyline. It almost seems as if the author does not want to present anything as hackneyed as an epilogue; so she ends on a minor note, as if it's just the stuff of life after all and the reader should be intelligent enough and Eurocentric enough to know this. I thought, "whatever..." less
