A review by stacyslap
The Patriots by Sana Krasikov

4.0

This is definitely a sweeping novel. It was almost too sweeping as it contained an overload of experience crammed into one book. I would have preferred the story to just be about the mother’s experience from leaving the USA for Russia and forward to 2008 instead of the back and forth in time and the chapter focus from the mother’s story to the present day son’s story. That is just personal preference as it would have been easier to retain the information and not need to switch perspective so often. It got tedious at times.
