I think I got this book recommendation from Modern Mrs. Darcy. I have a scribbled list of books to read on pages from a old journal. My notes said it was about World War II in Russia.
Well, I had to re-read the cover to remember that after the first 100 or so pages.
In a piece called "In Her Own Words" at the back of the book, Hannah said, "The Russian half of the story came to me as a gift." Also, "The bigger problem was the contemporary story."
I agree. I'll put it bluntly. I didn't give a shit about Meredith or Nina in the contemporary story. Their issues revolved around the men in their lives.
Anya's story was powerful.
Hannah should have written a novella.
