The Line by Olga Grushin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great writing. Compelling characters. A page turner. Even better once I read more about what the book was based on (but DON'T read about that first).

Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don't know why I only "really liked" this book instead of loved it.  Wonderful writing.  To me, I felt like I was really in South America reading this.  Something about the writing style gave it a foreign sense.  Perhaps I did not care about the characters as much as I expected?  I think that was it.  Beautiful to read.
