A review by ginabyeg
In Sunlight and in Shadow by Mark Helprin

1.0

I tried, but I just couldn't finish this. The book is actually well-written throughout; Mark Helprin has a beautiful use of language. That being said, for whatever reason, I couldn't follow the story fully. It was quite a dense read, and I always felt like I was missing something. I am a fairly proficient reader, but this book made me feel somewhat unintelligent given the effort needed to slog through it.
