Title: When We Were Orphans
Review: "When We Were Orphans" is passionless. My sister and I both received the detective novel for the holidays, and when we discussed it over lunch the other day, I discovered that I was not alone in my confusion about key plot points and storytelling devices - and my lack of empathy and sympathy for its protagonist. I always break the binding of books with a desire to love them - not find fault in them. I do not often feel as dissatisfied as I did while reading and after finishing "When We Were Orphans".
