Title: One of the best novels I've read in the past few years.
Review: I guess I'm a fairly late-comer to Mary Doria Russell's work, but I thought this book was amazing. Yes, there were lots of characters of all ages and nationalities, lots of locations (mostly in Italy), but Russell made everything (and everybody) come alive through her writing.I'm not into science fiction, so I'll probably not read her two first books, but I've already ordered (and am looking forward to reading) her fourth book, about the Middle East in the early '20's.And, even though there were not too many characters in "Thread" left alive at the end of the book, I'd be interested if she wrote a sequel.That's the mark of a good novelist. She leaves the reader wanting to always know "more" about her story and people.
