Negative Positive
Title: What a moving story!
Review: This is definately a coming-of-age tale. Young Esther has to grow up fast, and she does so, admirably. Going from privelidge only child to all but independent bread winner for her family, she shows the hardships faced by those in labor camps and general exile at the time.Only thing lacking? I wanted to know more at the end of the tale. Her family reunited (minus some members) I'd have loved to have an epilogue about their 'after exile' settlement back in Poland/Lithuania.Still, I highly recommend The Endless Steppe.
