Review: The Miniaturist

The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Not as engaging as I expected. Typically historical fiction affords me the opportunity to gain knowledge about a time period and location, but I didn't get much from this novel. I did however enjoy the "I didn't see that coming" story lines.

Review: About the Night

About the Night by Anat Talshir
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Historically I enjoyed the depiction of life in Jerusalem after WWII. Much like Berlin, it was divided causing heartache for those whose lives were put on hold. The fictional love story though was a bit like too much sweet frosting on a piece of cake. Not sorry I read it, but doubt it will stick with me for long.
