Away by Amy Bloom

1.0

Depressing, awkward to read and disturbing. I actually didn't finish this book but my fellow book clubbers told me that it ended on an unsatisfying and unresolved note. You'd think that after spending page after page of graphically describing how Lillian's family was slaughtered back in Russia and dredging up the same descriptions over and over in her nightmares every three chapters, there would be some resolution. But no, no relief, no redemption, just a crappy life. The only thing that I liked about "Away" was that I didn't waste my time and finish it.
