How this book could win so much praise and even prizes in Europe is beyond me - it's way too long, full of poorly-realized characters, improbable events and coincidences, with a poor sense of the time and place of its setting - I know because I lived there in those time periods. I rarely don't finish a book once I start it, but thisis one that never got any better and I should have put it down long before I ploughed through 600+ pages.
