The spoiler thread

I have enjoyed it a lot. Perhaps it wasn't a big "wow", but it was a well-written, interesting, holding-my-attention story.

I would like to try Milton Place, sadly, I can't find it at an "affordable price".

I did think it was a little tough to keep track of the characters and how they intersected. But overall I think it was a compelling story and the author did an amazing job at portraying Vienna after the war - not a subject I knew much about before reading this book. I will definitely be checking out Milton Place!
Has anyone read her grandson Edmund de Waal's family memoir The Hare With Amber Eyes: A Family's Century of Art and Loss? I tried reading it once and couldn't get into it, but reading this book makes me want to get into it again!

I haven't read The Hare With Amber Eyes: A Family's Century of Art and Loss, but I might put it on the ever expanding tbr.

I struggled to keep track with this one also, and as such, didn't find it compelling for the most part; however, once we'd got in to the very last part, I did. It was definitely interesting to read about a time and place I had little knowledge of, but for the most part, I wasn't eager to find out what happened next so I took a long time to read it. I'm glad I have read it, but I certainly don't think it's one of their best.
