review 1: I genuinely enjoy the voice of Tatiana de Rosnay but I could not even finish this book. After page 199 I just found myself so disappointed with the journey of Nicholas that I finally stopped trying to talk myself into finishing the novel. I skimmed the last few pages. This activity has recaptured my interest with other books I found growing dull but that did not happen here. Nicholas is not anymore memorable than any other whiny, narcissistic, brat of a person. I usually avoid those types on people and chose to do the same with Nicholas. I still respect Tatiana but this story would have been better if the father's accident, or perhaps Nicholas' family connection to Russia had materialized into something more. Very lackluster.
review 2: The author bio indicates ... moreshe's written ten books. The only other book I've read of this author was Sarah's Key, a novel I loved. Pity the poor reader who uses that novel as a means of deciding whether to read another of hers, like I did. This book is about a writer, VERY self-absorbed who writes a huge international successful novel about his family's secret. Flash back to his finding out about that secret, which we really don't find out until the end, and it's not a bombshell. By the time you find out, you really don't care. This character is not well fleshed out at all. He has NO redeeming qualities. The amount of sexual thinking and "doing" is very overdone and unnecessary! I can't even believe this book was by the same author, and she's definitely riding on the coattails of Sarah's Key. It was almost as if this book was written by another person. I can't believe I finished it. I have no idea why I bothered to finish it. Deplorable writing, and story. less
