This series was recommended to me by someone who also likes historical novels. This was the first of Furst's books I have read. At the beginning I did not think I was going to like it, but I perservered and ended up loving it. It was well-written and moved along quickly. I did not lose interest, even though this is a "historical period" that I am not particularly interested in. I am about to read a second novel in the series. I would recommend these books to anyone who likes historical novels or the period of the World Wars.

This was a very hard book to follow. I almost gave up on it but kept thinking it would get better. It did improve around page 200. Not sure I would read another one by this author.
