3.5 - its one of these books that i am not sure how to rate.
on one hand i love per Pettersons writing ( this is his second book i read - the first was out stealing horses ) on the other it felt like the narrative of the story got lost and kept jumping . It felt like BIG plots were just pass by it (Lona, grandfather , parents ,WWII etc).
I am all for journey and not reaching a point but something was lost by me here.

I liked it quite a bit but have to reflect on it. Not a straightforward book. Easy at one level, but that is not the only level I am sure. Fuller comment and review to follow.
The main characters, a brother and sister, are very well written, but I appreciated the atmosphere that the auther created even more.
