Sofia’s Reviews > The Memory Keeper of Kyiv > Status Update

I’m loving this book but I have a bit of a pet peeve that Cassie, who has a history degree, is so oblivious about what life was like in Ukraine during Stalin’s rule.

“If she couldn’t read the journal on her own, maybe researching what life was like in Ukraine back then would give her some insight.”

I understand the need to keep grandmas past a mystery, but no way she wouldn’t know of the famine.
