Briar Rose

As a novel, Briar Rose was something of a disappointment. I felt that the characters lacked depth, and did not seem to grow much through the events of the story. The plot was also extremely straightforward and predictable, so that Becca's success seemed like a foregone conclusion. Therefore, the part of the story featuring Becca's search seemed to drag. I think it was an interesting idea to incorporate the fairy tale of Briar Rose into a story about the Holocaust, but it didn't seem to mesh as well as I had hoped.
