The story revolves around their love, their families struggles, the war, bombings, concentrations camps, death, tragedy.\u00a0We see the journey\u00a0through Christine&#8217;s eyes and how she copes with all of it. What happens to her and Isaac&#8217;s family.<\/p>\n<p>The book is very well written but sometimes the author went\u00a0overboard with describing the landscape around. Other times there is so much emotional details about Christine that the author forgets to mention what is going on with other important characters. Also i felt the end could have been better, it just felt like a forced one.<\/p>\n<p>The haunting events mentioned in the book will linger on with you for a while. For a moment you do stop and think about the dark period.With all that said I don&#8217;t think its an\u00a0amazing book but a good read.<\/p>\n<p>Till then,<\/p>\n<p>Happy Reading!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Plum Tree, December 24, 2012 by\u00a0Ellen Marie Wiseman\u00a0\u00a0(Author) I had read mixed reviews of this book on amazon but still went ahead and read the book because of the storyline.
