What an amazing story! An amazing tale of one's wrong, love, loneliness, and community. I hope that Su Bristow writes more novels. The story of Donald and Mairhi was unexpected and beautiful.

I bought this book not paying enough attention to know it was the third book in a series.

It tells a beautiful story of Ingrid and her journey to find the father of her child, Alexander. As she journeys further from her home Barroy she meets many different characters whom provide pieces to Alexander's story since he left Barroy. Not always helpful, truthful or trustworthy, she pushes forward with the weight of questions unanswered and Kaja (her daughter) on her shoulders.

I'll definitely go back and read the earlier books but this alone was a great, sometimes frustrating story.

I really wanted to like this book more than I did. The concept was unlike anything I had read before but I feel it fell flat and maybe that was the point. Towards the end I found it confusing, the memories that disappeared, where they now physically manifesting to where those who remembered were forgetting too or did R just leave her body in the secret room? Was the novel she was writing the actual story? I'm okay with a book ending without answering all my questions, but I'm left not understanding what I read.

Bought this book knowing nothing more than its brief description. The story of Dr. Ho Fengshan brings to life a piece of WW2 and the horrific experience of the Jewish people of Vienna faced most, myself included, may not have known. This book has inspired me to learn more about China during WW2.

Weina Dai Randel has written such a wonderfully well written novel and I look forward to reading her other works.

I took a while after finishing before writing a review. I still cannot put into words how this book impacted me. It is a beautiful retelling of a family mystery that will draw you in. Thank you for sharing your families story.
