This was a slow, character driven historical fiction novel based on true events. There were times while reading that I was very drawn into the characters and the story, and times when I felt a bit bored. 
What I liked most was the unique story of this novel. Talia was adopted by her Romanian parents after being taken to an orphanage because she was found abandoned in the streets. Little did Talia know of her Jewish roots and where she came from for most of her life. I enjoyed reading her history slowly unfold for her through the pages. 
I think any historical fiction fan would find a bit of enjoyment in this book. More so if you like character driven novels, and less so if you don’t. I enjoy learning about experiences during World War II and the post war era, so overall there was value in reading this book. But I’m not sure if I’ll pick up any more by this author.
