I just finished a book that I loved... Paulline Simon's The Bronze Horseman.
This was my review:
When I picked up this book, I thought I was going to be reading about
the siege of Stalingrad. I did not know I was going to reading one of
the most beautifully frustrating love stories of all time.
The
first half of this book was incredible; I could not put this book down.
Never have I read anything as heartbreaking, poignant, and terrifying
as the story of the Metanova family during the siege. Simons definitely
has a gift for writing; the reader lives through the siege.
And
then came the "honeymoon" time, which was just a bit too much. Suddenly
I was reading romance instead of historical fiction. But the
characters are thrown back into war and Simons once again flourishes by
making the reader FEEL so very much for the characters.
I look forward to reading the rest of the story.
