The Clothes On Their Backs by Linda Grant

3.0

The story moves along with no real intended destination. The story keeps you waiting for a secret to bubble to the surface or a plot twist to take place, but never happens. Characters are easily understood (not necessarily relatable), but without an intended destination the story feels like it abruptly comes to an end. Almost like the author forgot their train of thought or the purpose of the story and brought quickly to an end as if to end their pain in trying to remember where it was that the story was supposed to go. Overall I didn't mind the book, but it left me unsatisfied.
