5.0 out of 5 stars Portraits is the best book I have every read!, April 29, 1998

This review is from: Portraits (Hardcover)

Portraits is the best book I have every read! It has very interesting characters that you care about. The plot is very involved and moves at a good pace. Portraits could be the story of my grandparents and great-parents because the theme is similiar in families who emigrated to this country at the turn of the century. The characters in Portraits are very believable and remind me of people that I know.

5.0 out of 5 stars We read this book while we were out to dinner, rather than talk to each other!, December 8, 2005

Sucha good read. Twenty years ago, my sister and I read this book over dinnerat a local burger place. We didn't even talk, we just patiently waited for each other to finish a section so the other one could read it. We still read it when we visit each other's house. A wonderful, heartbreaking and inspirational story that is thick with character development. Love it, love it, love it!
