Slow first third but kept me gripped after that! A really well-written historical fiction novel. I really rooted for Lucius. Of course I wish
that there had been a happy ending, but there is no doubt that there is something poetic about the man that haunted Lucius ending up with the woman Lucius had been searching for for all that time.
If you like The Pianist (Wladyslaw Szpilman), Maus (Art Spiegelman), or other stories set during WWI or WWII, definitely check this one out.
