Briar Rose: A Novel of the Holocaust by Jane Yolen

3.0

The idea of the plot drew me in, but I felt like the writing was awful. It had a lot of potential, but some of the descriptions and dialogue were hard to follow, or repetitive. I loved the first half-ish of this book, but then quickly became bored as the mystery was finally being solved. The romance threaded throughout was unnecessary and didn’t make sense with the rest of the story. Overall not the worst book I’ve ever read, but a disappointment for sure.
