Mehso-so

I‘m between a so-so & a pick … It‘s a great story .. London 1950‘s to present day. The MC a daughter of Hungarian parents who escaped during World War II. Her parents live in the past as Vivien tries to find her way in the modern world. The writing didn‘t hold the story for me , but I did learn a lot of history.

BarbaraBB I have read this one too but have a hard time remembering what it was about - even after reading your review 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3y
