so-so

This was a so-so for me almost a pan. I just did not connect with any of the characters except one (and he unfortunately didn‘t have a happy ending). The only thing that saved this from being a pan was the descriptions of Hamburg. #Rhidianread

Mollyanna Poor Barker! He was the only one I liked! 😢 5y

Librarybelle Yes, Barker! That was a very sad scene! Thanks for joining us...this was just a so-so for me too. 5y

CouronneDhiver Sorry this one wasn‘t for you... but thanks for joining in! 5y

The Aftermath | Rhidian Brook

so-so

Finished...and I‘m left with a lot of unanswered questions. It seems like the ending came too rushed; I was hoping for more. A unique look at World War II‘s aftermath in Germany, from various perspectives. But, still lacking in something. A few weeks late, but finally completed #RhidianRead ! #Deweys24HourReadathon

Somehow I missed posting a wrap-up post for #RhidianRead ! I‘m still reading, and I know a few of you were still waiting for a copy, so please feel free to share your thoughts when you have a chance to read this!

This was the first #buddyread @CouronneDhiver and I put up for a vote, and I think that worked out well! We‘re thinking about our next read, so stay tuned for that. If you‘re up for the next one, let us know! Thanks everyone!

#RhidianRead #buddyread
The author‘s inspiration for the novel is his grandfather who requisitioned a house for his family in 1946 Hamburg.In a unique move,he allowed the German owners‘ to remain & share the house.The novel‘s intrigue, it‘s vivid, sensory, details of ruins juxtaposed with splendor, it‘s tensions between the “occupiers”& those who lost, are palpable.The culture of the orphaned “children of rubble”is heartbreaking in it‘s detail.
