Review title: Trying too hard
Product review: I had high hopes for this book when I picked it up, and although I enjoyed it somewhat, I was in the end disappointed. The author seemed to be trying too hard to convey too many messages (but none effectively). He deals with prejudice, post-war societal wounds, forbidden love, and murder. It seems that all these things must fall into place with some sort of deep meaning, but they never do. If you pick it up, you'll probably finish reading it just to find out what happens in the murder trial, but that's really not enough to save this novel.
