panthergirl 's review for:

Wave by Sonali Deraniyagala

I just read some of the other reviews here, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way. Something is really wrong when you don't sympathize with a person who went through what this woman went through, but I honestly felt nothing for her. This may have been, in part, because she describes the tragedy BEFORE we really get to know her or her family through the 'flashback' details of their lives. I do know grief, and had to help my small child through grief (losing his father) so I could relate to many of the 'triggers' she described. Again, I should have been emotionally moved by this story and I just wasn't.
