A review by lindseyzank
The Silence of Trees by Valya Dudycz Lupescu

4.0

I'm always surprised by the $3.99 or less Kindle books. I bought this one on a whim for a trip and found it enchanting. Ukrainian culture is really quite charming and old fashioned. I thought the strengths of the novel were in the flashbacks to the time of World War II when the protagonist and her family is affected by the Nazis and Russians (I won't give anything away!) and the weaknesses of the novel were in the present day unfolding of events that occur in the second half of the novel. Overall, I would read another novel by this author.
