Based on a true event. The story was interesting but the large number of narrators made it challenging to follow. Even at the end I struggling to keep them straight.

Karisimo @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks it‘s a slow murder mystery set in post WWII Minnesota. My book club of mostly women thought it would be more appreciated by male readers. Most of our discussion focused on the characters. I liked it fine, but wasn‘t wowed! (edited) 2mo

Pickpick

Loved my #bookspin book for March!!!! It's a middle grade memoir of a girl growing up in Bosnia just before the war. She is just about the same age as me, so even though it was in a different country, it felt nostalgic. It was a perfect blend of personal, family, and national issues. I love how her culture was portrayed and was saddened by many turn of events. Now I need to read her YA account of the war years...
