A review by lenascholman
The Vision of Emma Blau by Ursula Hegi

3.0

The writing is beautiful - a whirlwind of history and character that reminds me of James Michener’s Chesapeake / Elena Ferrante’s Naples. Ultimately, though I couldn’t put it down, and while I savoured each chapter, I hoped for a more satisfying ending, wanting a story that began with a curse to end with a blessing. Others might say it does, and maybe that’s true. Maybe I’m being greedy and wanting a blessing and an epilogue.
