Crossing Stones by Helen Frost

2.0

Interesting premise: the story of two close families torn apart by WWI, conveyed through poems. Because of this method, the characters never seem more than sketches, shadows of real people, which makes it difficult to really be invested in them or their lives. I think this would have been better as a novel. The characters were interesting, but needed to be fleshed out in order for this be a really satisfying read.
