(free review copy) My husband and I both ADORED Murphy's last book, the WWII novel "The Boat Runner", and I was floored by how expertly he managed to switch gears and write something completely different but equally excellent. "Tiny Americans" is a modern family story told in vignettes from different viewpoints over the course of decades. It is quiet, at times incredibly sad, and so touching. If you know too well how fractured families can be and how tiny moments of connection can mean the world, this book is for you. I believe that yet again, this one will be a hit for both me and my husband - no easy feat!

the portrayal of women in this book is abhorrent

Lo he abandonado a tan solo unas 35 páginas por varios motivos:

1. Me provocaba sueño.
2. Capítulos largos que aburren.
3. Tema confuso que no comprendo.
4. No es de un tema que me guste.

No le daré rate porque no leí suficientes páginas, por eso lo dejo sin valoración.
