A review by gglazer
Love & Treasure by Ayelet Waldman

2.0

A story about a train, filled with Jewish belongings, in Hungary at the end of WWII and a Jewish American soldier's responsibility for it. The part with the actual action (the train itself) was a good enough story, but the other two parts were totally meh.

I take some of the blame, here, because I seem to be reading too many stories about recovering precious art objects during major world wars too close together, but this was painfully similar to -- and not nearly as good as -- The Girl You Left Behind.

Also, Ayelet Waldman and I just don't get along; I find her writing stilted and her word choice grates on my nerves. We're through.
