Review title: bland and lacking metaphor
Product review: i read this book for a bookclub. we split on how we liked it - as is normally the case. i dislike it. i think it is bland and lacks an external link that would have made the book so much more worthy to recommend. i appreciate the love stories, opera references and the author's deliberate rebuking of stereotypes relating to nationality and gender. there is a factual basis to this book and a little more political or socio-economic commentary however subtle would have been appreciated. There are reasons to like this book but there are so many better books than this to read. quite honestly i'm surprised this book has received as much fanfare as it has.
