Mostly, I liked this very much, although there is a lot of content of art (of which I know nothing) and a lot of endless suffering, which ordinarly I don't like. However, the context is interesting (Russia, WWII) and the way that she weaves past and present, and tries to present through the eyes of a person with progressing Alzheimers was beautifully done, and I really admired that.
Worth reading.

I agree totally with your assessment of this book. Lorraine
This was an "OK" read for me. It was interesting to learn about that event in Russian history, but I expected more in the way of plot. I didn't think the ending tied up enough loose ends.
