Four Fires by Bryce Courtenay

3.0

This is a hard one to rate. It took me nearly a month to read. There were some great bits and emotional parts but there was also a lot of fluff. I think it could have been cut down a heap and not lost the story. I was confused by where it suddenly jumped at 90% but it all tied in together.
I knew nothing of the war with Japan and both it and the German stories were hard to read. On the other hand the dressmaking parts were boring other than the history. That is what I liked the most about this book. The ending was actually predictable in a way.
