Title: This author has never lived in Minnesota!
Review: This book was heartily recommended to me by a fellow traveler on an airplane to Minneapolis, of all places!! I eagerly anticipated its arrival and read it in an afternoon--stretched into late evening. Once I'd read the part describing the funeral in Minnesota, I really couldn't believe much about the rest of the book. I know it's a work of fiction, but if the facts with which I am familiar are so far out in left field, why should I think the rest of the book is based on the fact that it purports to be based on the Holocaust? Minnesota people are, to a fault, polite. The book did have a lot of promise and was well written, but the writer has an over-active imagination...or neglected to do even the most basic of research. I could probably write an equally good Holocaust novel, and I'm a baby boomer from Canada!!
Is the review positive or negative?
