I finished Briar Rose today. I know I said the concept of the book was excellent, but I honestly wasn't too impressed with the writing style or the filler story.
The last hundred pages COMPLETELY changed my opinion. Once you get past the awkward romance section and the annoying sisters, you are rewarded with an exceptionally believable Holocaust story. It is strange to think of something so terrible being compared to a fairy tale, but it somehow works. It has a castle (though not a grand and happy place), a Princess (though not by blood), a mist that puts all to sleep (though not everyone will wake from it), and a Prince (though he might not get to live happily ever after).
I recommend it.
I've been listening to Lily Allen all day. I love her alot. I love what she sings about.
