Now I'll have to think about the references to Russian writers (which I love!) as they didn't readily stick out to me while reading the book. I was more involved in the boys' relationship with their father and one another. I, too, thought it a beautiful and sensitive book.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-39155607146039406972011-11-29T20:32:47.591+08:002011-11-29T20:32:47.591+08:00Interesting mel.
