The Light in the Ruins by Chris BohjalianMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I don't usually read murder-mysteries, but I like Chris Bohjalian, and when I saw he had a new book out, jumped at the chance to read it. There were several times that I thought I had the plot figured out, and each time I was wrong--that's a huge plus for me. I like that I was kept guessing as I read and as a result I was engaged for the duration of the book.
There are many facets to The Light in the Ruins, as well as to the main characters Christina and Sarafina. Their stories are weaved between the years 1943 and 1955, giving you a chance to know them in both their past and present lives.
