The Olympics were somewhat prominent in the story, but not as much as I'd hoped.

I'm on the blogtour for this book as well, so I'm eager to see what everyone thought of it!NancyOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027036137062767840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-58613929226042769592012-07-10T13:21:15.264-04:002012-07-10T13:21:15.264-04:00Zibilee, I'm pretty burned out on WWII fiction...Zibilee, I'm pretty burned out on WWII fiction too.

I had high hopes for it too, especially after the Library Journal, but I just didn't connect with it. In many ways, I think, I so enjoyed The Last Time I Saw Paris, which was similar in some ways, that this one fell short.nomadreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795144320842413060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-50529529288155424712012-07-10T12:09:41.017-04:002012-07-10T12:09:41.017-04:00I am not sure this one is for me.In 2009, there wa...I am not sure this one is for me.In 2009, there was a glut of WWII fiction at my house, and I am still not really over the overload yet. I might get back into WWII again sometime, but for now I am just burnt out. I loved the way you reflected your thoughts on this book. Personal and thoughtful, yet honest at the same time.
