I should probably have thrown in the towel when the story stopped working for me and I was forcing myself to continue reading the book. But no, this was a netgalley book and I was going to finish it. This is the last time I think so, next time when the book fails me I will just stop and read something else instead of suffering through I book that is clearly not meant for me.
The Bone Church follows two separate story lines, WW2 in Prague and after the war several years later; unfortunately it just didn’t work because it just made the story confusing to read. Suddenly you are in the past and you reading about characters you hardly remember. I just felt lost and also the characters weren’t memorable, I just didn’t care if they found each other or if the real infant of Prague was found (apparently that was part of the story also). Frankly my dear I just don't give a damn!
A half star upgraded to one star since GR don't have half stars.
Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a free copy for an honest review!

These connected short stories were slightly difficult to get into because the settings and motivations were foreign to me. Persistence was well worth the effort as the stories were satisfying to read.
