Take Me to the Castle

Book Description:

The door opened slowly, and she could see the outline of five men standing in the corridor. Her room was far enough away from the figures for no one to notice her nose pressing into the door frame. She was aware of her own breathing and tried to slow it down, slow down her heartbeat until she was invisible. The idea in these moments is to be completely invisible. There were a lot of invisible people in Prague, doing invisible things to other invisible people.

What would you do to secure your own freedom?

February 1993. Walls between East and West have dissolved, following the Velvet Revolution of 1989. It is a harsh winter in the newly formed Czech Republic, but the nation celebrates. Arriving in Letovice, Jana is trying to escape a personal loss and come to terms with the changes in her country and in her own life. She stays with the Martineks and meets their son, Miloš. When he leaves Letovice and she travels back to Prague, she encounters a deep and shocking betrayal. Jana meets Lukas, a conservator working on the restoration of a mosaic at the Cathedral of St Vitus. But who is he and what is he hiding?

An evocative portrayal of life during the fall of communism: It is a sometimes heartbreaking tale of deception, distrust and the need for redemption in the aftermath of a regime in which no one can be trusted, not even someone you thought you knew.

Here's my review. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Thanks, Angie, for the review.

Here's my review. I am sorry it's probably not the best but it's the best I could do right now. Take Me to the Castle by F.C. Malby

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I really thought that I would be able to get into this book and like it because Prague is one of my favorite places. However, for some reason I just couldn't follow the characters or really feel anything for any of them. Now I would like to say that it could just be my mood at the moment so I don't want anyone to take this review as bad. I think this book has a lot going for it. I like the history background that is infused in it. I will probably in the future return to this book and re-read it because I do think I haven't given it 100%. When I do I promise to return and re-review it.
