" Excellent book! Read it in two days, "

" What a great book. A very sad and well told story. "

" Ick: It's like reading a Lifetime movie. "

" A great historical fiction from the war in Leningrad, Russia. This book takes place in modern day with a story from the past that was so moving that it made me teary reading it. "

" This is my all time favorite book by Kristin Hannah! So interesting the way she combines the present with the past. It was hard to put it down as I just wanted to keep reading and find out what was going to happen next. Well worth reading! "

" I thought this book was well written with an interesting storyline. I enjoyed it from start to finish. "

" I haven't read such a good book in a long time. I almost forgot what it felt like to have a book that you just can't put down. This book was a very touching story and I would read it over and over again "

" Slow to get started but rich with history. Emotional 2nd half had me in tears at the end. Worth reading. "

" This was my first Kristin Hannah book; loved it! "

" Beautiful and haunting story. I highly recommend this book. "

" I had a hard time sticking with this book for the first part, but glad I continued. Enjoyed reading about the Russian past. "

" This book is a little "dark".. I don't want to use the word dark, but not sure of what else to use. It's is very good, some language and such keep me from giving it 5 stars "

" Amazing story! A must read! "

" This is probably my favorite Kristin Hannah book! Loved it! "

" This was one of the best books i've read in a long time, i enjoyed how it would go back in time to tell the story of Anya. "

" This book opened my reading world up tp Kristin Hannah.. Amazing story..would make an excellent book club discussion. Gotta read it! "

" This is not my typical read, but a friend told me I would love it. She was right. It took a little bit for me to get into it, but once I was I could not put it down. Find out why the old nasty mom was nasty, as 2 sisters get to know the mother they new nothing about. "

" Loved the way the past and present were woven together in this book. It reminds us of just how much our experiences shape and mold us in ways we or the ones we love may never understand. "

" Very emotional, but such a great book!! "

" This was an okay read. It read quickly and I was interested in the story. However, I didn't find any of the characters likable and didn't really believe that their actions were realistic or justified. The ending of the book was a bit cheesy. A light read for summer. "

" A little boring and very predictable. "

" Another one that made me cry a lot. But very well written! A story of the war but not from a country we hear a lot from "

" A little slow in the beginning, but incredible second half! "

" An interesting way to try and tell the terrible story of the seige of Leningrad, but the book would have benefitted from some hard editing. "

" I found the fairy tale gripping - especially since I have never read anything about that part of the world during that period of time but the current family issues just didn't hold my interest and I was more in to quickly reading it to get to the 'fairy tale'. "

" Another amazing book by Kristin Hannah "

" Combine a fairy tale with two sisters in contemporary times and Russian history. A magical exploration of what it means to love and be a family. Magnificent. "

" I bawled my eyes out the last 1/3 of this book! "

" I very much enjoyed this book. It was well-written and touching. "

" Moving story about two sisters and their emotionally distant mother. Little by little, the sisters discover the reason behind their mother's distance. The novel started out a bit slow, but by the end I couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading more of Kristin Hannah's novels. "

" Not overly crazy of the writing style.Seemed somewhat simplistic.Loved the story. "

" This is just really amazing. Starts out a little slowly, but develops into this breathtaking, heartbreaking and uplifting story. I really, really enjoyed it. "

" Loved the way the author set up the story, told it, and brought it to an end. Good surprises. Helped me remember that people generally act the way they do for a reason, and that we may never know why they are the way they are. Also enjoyed the Russian history in the book. "
