The Dissident by Nell Freudenberger

3.0

It was a good story and kept my attention, but this book has not aged well in 14 years. I assume the point was that everyone's a dissident in their own special way. Or perhaps it was trying to be more Henry James-ish in analyzing the effect of foreigners and Americans on each other. In any case, there was just too much going on with too many characters so that it came across as superficial.
