I enjoyed this book, but sometimes I just wanted to slap the characters. They were very contradictory. Having huge blow-out arguments and then going on like it never happened, but yet it comes up again. The whole third quarter of the book was sex. I mean just pages and pages of the same sex. That got a little boring. And the end. Well...you know.
I make it sound like I didn't like the book, and that's not the case, because I really did enjoy it. The setting of Russia in the midst of WWII was a new one for me. Though I've read tons of WWII-era books, I don't think many of them have been from a Russian perspective.
I didn't know there was a 2nd book. I'll have to check it out!
