review 1: It is quite apparent that Leslie is an investigative reporter because her book was extremely detailed. In my opinion, this worked for and against her at times. Obviously, without her investigative skills she would have never found Roland; however, I thought the book dragged at times and was a little bit too thorough. I kept waiting for more about the love story to be uncovered, and while at the end I was satisfied, I could not help but think through a good portion of the book, "Let's move this along already!". I really feel like the book dragged in parts and much of it could have been left out. With all of that said, I like Leslie's point of view and she did a very good job of narrating the book as well!
review 2: It was a struggle. I was lured in by the ... morewhole 'reunion after 50 years' thing, but it felt like it took me 50 years to get to that part. First I had to read the entire history of WWII in France (shades of history class which was never my favourite) and then years in Cuba and the US. Finally the big reunion -- which might have been a lot more touching if (a)the author's father hadn't been at home dying while she's trying to find mom's lost love, and (b) lost love has a wife. From then on, it was really somewhat sleazy, with details about mom and lost love at last consummating their passion (please! I'm as old as the mom, and I certainly wouldn't want my daughter writing about it!!) and carrying on behind the wife's back for years, even including the grandchildren in the secret love affair. Not recommending this one. less
