I liked it and didn't. I was excited to read this because it touched on what was going on in Hungary and Romania during world war 2 with Stalin and Hitler. But I was slightly disappointed that I didn't learn more about the history of what really went on. I feel like they talked about Stalin and communism in such a way that they assumed that the reader had a good knowledge of what exactly was going on in those countries at the time. I felt that I was missing something. The story was intriguing and kept my attention. There is alot of sex in the book, most as a result of her position in her country and her need for survival. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. **Can I edit to add, I do feel like they represented very well, what it would have been like to be a citizen of these countries during this time. Lots of political drama and survival... however I guess I felt like I didn't completely understand exactly what was going on politically as a result of the war in the country as a whole that made these citizens lives the way that they were.
