Review of 'If I forget thee, Jerusalem' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

Genius in writing two separate stories that are not at surface level related, but beneath are intricately so. On their own neither is spectacular - they both just miss the mark - , but together their is an achievement. Had a depressing Les Miz feel throughout the whole thing.

Between grief and nothing, I'll take grief ....
