jensenwahlquist 's review for:
Briar Rose
by Jane Yolen
Growing up Becca' s grandmother always told her sisters the same story of briar rose. Years later on her death bed,"gemma" reveals that she is briar rose and instructs Becca to find her castle. Desperate to fulfill her grandmother's dying wish, Becca sets out to find the truth behind her grandmother's story.
I loved how the Author implemented WWII into the story. It added a lot of depth and created an interesting twist. The dialogue was a little simple and childish at times, but overall this book was fascinating.
Content:
Sexuality/nudity: one character is gay and there is brief graphic description of the aftereffects of gay sex. Some kissing.
Violence/Gore: this is a novel about the holocaust so there are scenes describing what the people went through.
Language: minor swearing
Drugs/alcohol: none
Frightening/intense scenes: some of the description of the war scenes can be seen as disturbing.
