review 1: The Things We Cherished contains different characters and story-lines spanning from 1903 to 2009. Beginning with a struggling farmer and his wife looking for a way to travel to a better life in America all the way to the modern story of a man being tried as a war criminal almost sixty years after his crimes were committed. Everything ties together through a one-of-a-kind clock the farmer makes to sell for money to purchase passage to America. After the clock is commissioned and sold, it ends up holding secrets to be revealed throughout the novel.Everything in this book is so well put together. You can really tell that Pam understands the history behind each of these times as well as legal processes. There is a little bit of something for everyone in this novel... myst... moreery, family drama, love stories, and history. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a well-told World War II novel with a different angle. Yes, the Holocaust is referenced and the horrifying events that surrounded it, but more than that, this is the story of real people dealing with raw emotions during a time when figuring out the "right" thing to do was not as clear as black and white.
review 2: I remember anxiously wanting to read this book for the longest. Needless to say I was disappointed knowing that this is the same author that wrote The Kommandant's daughter( which I did not like at all by the way). However I thought that this would have been drastically different, sadly this was a boring and inconsistent mess. I just don't understand what purpose of this book was, the plot was never defined while reading it, ugh another book that has a lot of critical praise but little substance. less
