Alberto's Lost Birthday by Diana Rosie
3.0
"Alberto's Lost Birthday" was such a sweet read. If it weren't for the fact that I read another book by the author, "Pippo and Clara" which I absolutely loved, I'd totally give this book a solid 4-star rating.
The story was simple. Starting with an old man trying to figure out his "lost birthday," his journey went back in time during the Spanish civil war. The descriptions of the country and the war time Spain were well written. The story was amazingly sweet, yet bitter. An enjoyable read but just a little plain. Regardless, Ms. Diana Rosie is such a gifted storyteller with the innocent voice that I adore. There are always hope and positivity in her story. I do recommend this book. 3.5 stars.
