The Night Travelers
by Armando Lucas Correa
adventurous
emotional
hopeful
informative
sad
slow-paced
I was provided a free advanced copy of this from @netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
This is a family saga following four generations of women from the early 1930s in Germany, to the 50s in Cuba, to the fall of the Berlin wall in the 80s. This is a story of the sacrifices we make for the ones we love, specifically between a mother and daughter. It's about misunderstanding and forgiveness, joy and grief, secrets and revealing truths. This was definitely a story that clearly shows the effects of history repeating itself!
I struggled a bit with the pacing and feeling like I would get to know characters and be invested in them to only move on without them. However, I appreciated how connections and new information from the past started to be revealed at the end. That's when it started to get better for me. Overall it may have lost some stars for me just due to the overall sadness of the story. This is the third book I've read this year and all three were sad/depressing. So, if it's just been a bit of a downer. If I had read this at a different time, I may have rated it at least a star higher.
It was published this past week, so if you are a fan of historical fiction or family epics, check this one out!
