I thought I would love this memoir, but the writing style just didn't draw me in. It just lacked something. I found the background on the slave trade interesting, though. | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I enjoyed this book but wish the author had toned her Oedipal romanticism concerning her father and his playboy lifestyle during the years when they lived in Cairo. Glamorizing his adulterous and selfish behavior during the early years of his marriage was overdone. That part of the book would have... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Picador
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Perhaps it should surprise me less that locales once mauled by basest violence are often grotesquely tranquil: the soothing splash of waves at the D-Day beaches of Normandy; silently drifting snow flakes settling in a white shroud over Auschwitz, Majdanek, and Treblinka; flowers, flags and cold... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
