I was excited to read this one as I liked The Woman With The Blue Star, but what a disappointment! It was very nearly a DNF for me.
The characters were frustratingly clueless and lacked any depth at all. Everything was over explained, even in the height of the moment. What should have been big things were brushed over. The storyline lacked any depth, and the dialogue was very dramatic. It did not seem to do any justice to the historical event (the train rescue) so I don’t even feel like I learned something new. It almost seems like a mockery of what really happened.
Ever have those books where you just can’t be bothered to write a detailed review? I try not to focus on the negative but this is all I’ve got today
