A review by jesslolsen
The Silence of Trees by Valya Dudycz Lupescu
5.0
“When he looks into your eyes, tells you he loves you-and the pickled herring and onions are stronger than his voice-yet you still smile. You still want to be close to him. Yes, then you have found love.”
This was a very well written book, the author has a gift for making the characters and settings come alive, and at the same time bringing each era together to round out the story.
I love hearing about different cultures and the Ukrainian lifestyle is not one I have come across in any depth before. How amazing to have so many ceremonies and rituals to hold on to, very fascinating!
This book shows the importance of family and how string those bonds are, even through different countries, generations and centuries! It also demonstrates the strength and ability of humans to heal and move on. "Love the past but live in the present".
