I picked up this book because it was supposed to be like a [a:Kate Morton|615274|Kate Morton|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1303173047p2/615274.jpg] novel. I guess it sort of was, but not quite up to par. It had the same general plot set up as Morton's novels do: a young relative investigating/discovering family secrets alternated with the family in question's life. Even the time frame was the same: present day + world war era. Unfortunately, the similarities ended there as far as I was concerned. The historical pieces read like someone who did some research and lacked the genuineness that I've come to love with Morton's novels. There was little detail, and it just didn't manage to keep my attention. The first half of the book was significantly more bearable than the second half. Also, the book felt more like a chick lit novel than a Morton novel. Boring, predictable, and altogether generic.
