Life is hard. If you are flexible and can pick your battles, you will survive. If you insist on living the way you want and think you can bend Life, you will wither.

Having said that, book was awesome for 85% then it strayed a bit (the way the characters ended, the excessive chapters on some characters whom I feel isn’t the focus of the book) but book was still good enough for me to finish it.

Well, I thought his would be a character-driven book but it is wholly a ploy- driven one. It’s interesting, it reads well, it gives good information about an historical moment I knew nothing about, but overall it reads like a Ken Follet novel- and I am not sure it will remains memorable in my mind. Good read, a bit underwhelming.

Lovely, emotional saga that I was able to glean a lot out of due to my knowledge of this historical time period. A massive undertaking by the author but executed brilliantly.
