On offer in Tesco and looks very interesting.

I was attracted to this book not only by the synopsis, but also by the Recent History of the Collapse of The Berlin Wall and The Iron Curtain and all that it stood for.
Bearing this in mind, I must be honest and say that I found this novel to be a disappointment.
I know it is a novel, but there was too much good fortune for far too long, and I feel the fantasy was spun out and disproportionate with the era and The Stasi and Vopo.
The end was, in my opinion, a rushed affair in comparison to how the story had been drawn out.
There was too much made of the dynamics of twins to the point I found it disturbing and sickly.
On the whole, story would have better if shorter, more realistic and with slightly more fact, or historical, dated incidents to make this a worthier read.
Not entirely sure that I will read this author. The American Lieutenant Hero was a bit too Danielle Steele for me, too

On it's way to Daffodil-2.
Enjoy!
It will be interesting to see what you think about this book and author.
Travel Well, Little Book

Received in the post today from Kirstycat as a RABCK along with another book- A Prisoner of Birth, a Christmas card and a bar of chocolate. Thanks very much.

REVIEW:-"A very well-researched book that kept me on the edge of my seat on several occasions.
I loved how the author described the connection between the twins and empathised when one was "feeling the stress" of the other, due to similar circumstances within my own family fairly recently. I agree with Kirsty-Kat that the story was rather far-fetched at times but this didn't spoil the overall effect for me.
I learnt a lot about the horrific situations caused by the Berlin Wall and it made me feel so grateful to be living in a free country."
Reserved for Plum-Crazy who I think will enjoy it.

This book will be given to Plum-Crazy when we meet for the first time.

To the finder:-
Welcome to bookcrossing -you have found a travelling book. Please make a journal entry now to say where you found the book in case it has been moved. Then, when you have read it, please come back and make a further entry saying whether or not you enjoyed the book and why. It is now yours to do as you like with it, pass it to a friend or just leave it somewhere different for someone else to find and help it with its' journey. Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.

I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.

When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.

Received from daffodil-2 at our meet up today - lovely to meet you.. & Mr daff... in person at long last.

👋Hello to kirstykat too!
