    Beautiful story
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2023*

This is the first time I've read a book written by this author  Pam Jenoff.  It was very interesting and. It kept your interest. The dynamics between Noa and Astrid were compelling which made me want to keep reading as much as I could each day.  Now I need to find another book by Pam Jenoff  to read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Heartbreaking
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2023*

heart warming and beautiful.  Just the right questions left unanswered, just the right secrets revealed.  I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves to read, just for the sake of the story.

    Wake up "dream team."
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2018*

Reviewer: D. GoinPam Jenoff calls the folks at MIRA books her "dream team." Well, she'd better wake them up, because they let slip by--what? Call them style quirks-- and errors that, like leeches, suck blood from and bog dowm one of the best stoties I have read in yeatrs.Ms. Jenoff is clearly a great story teller, who has researched her work well and drawn her characters finely. One cam see, hear, smell, feel and even taste her scenes.Yet, I can agree with some of the one-star reviewers who call the tale boring. To me, "boring" is a bit harsh. Yet, one does become weary spending so much time in  Noa and  Astrid's heads,  listening to backstory repeated endlessly and hearing for the umpteenth time how guilty Noa feels about lying about her past. We get it, okay?I mentioned style qrirks. Both Noa and Astrid appear to be all-knowing, forever in terpreting what other characters say. For ecample, Noa is the poin-of-view character observing Peter and Astrid. Peter says somerhing to. Astrid and Noa notes, "But she (Astrid) turns away from him, her pride too hurt to let him close." How in the world can Noa know why Astrid turns away. Noa might say, "But she turned away, as if her pride..." This psychoanaalysis by POV characters goes on throughout the book, imparting the wiadom of the author rather than of the characters.Another style quirk thar makes no sense to me is the interruption of dialogue  to get back i nto the POV character's head. For example, in a scene where Astrid is the POV character and where Noa suggests she and Astrid help the workers putting up the tent, Astrid shakes her head and says, "No, let them do their work." Then we go into Astrid's head, when she thinks the following: We can no more help raise the tent than the workers can swing from the trapeze. Why not make this last sentence partof her response to Noa, which would, as dialogue always does, allow deepening characters and  the conflict between them?Above, l also mentioned errors. I will point out two of the most prevalent:First, showing and telling at the same time. Showing is always better, but certainly not both. For example, in a scene where the police are arresting an old man and his granddaughter, the old man stalls for time  "The policeman will hear none of it."  (telling) "'Now," says the policeman. (showing). Telling is heavy-handed throughout the story.The second and more egregious error involves getting the past tense of verbs mixed up with the past perfect (pluperfect) tense.  This happens frequently. For example, Astrid thinks, "I see his face more vividly than I had in months." This should read "...than I have in months." To use "had," she would need to establish a past event, before which something happened. She could think, for example, "I saw his face clearly, yesterday. I had not thought of him for months before that."Enough! This is a damn fine story  I recommend it and plan to read more of Pam Jenoff's  work. But please, dream team, wake up!
