This was a great book - one that I'll be recommending to people. its greatest strength comes from creating "atmosphere"... while you're reading it, its like you're truly being transported into another time and place. There are actually two stories - taking place about 15 years apart - that are both engaging... and interconnected. The book raises some questions about survival vs. living with integrity... without offering any easy answers, imo. there are some characters who seem to be clearly in the wrong (totally opportunistic) and then there are some who really are just stuck between a rock and a hard palce, and have to make very difficult choices. I really loved this book. It's the best one I've read so far this year.
