Highly recommended for fans of stories set against the backdrop of WWI that weave romance and mystery into a study of the medical practices of the era.
The writing style and the characters were the story’s strengths, but in the end, Wolitzer’s latest offering was far less powerful and resonating than it could have been.
Recommended for the writing style: the author is an impressive wordsmith, but the story lacks tight plotting; not recommended for the squeamish or sensitive reader.
