Karolina's Twins
by Ronald H. Balson
Karolina's Twins by Ronald H. Balson (7/13/2016)
Karolina's Twins was an interesting story. It had a fascinating story line and it was easy to imagine it happening during that horrific time in Poland.
While I enjoyed the overall story, I did find it somewhat disjointed. There did not seem to be much connection between the different elements and characters. The characters had a lot of potential but their interactions felt somewhat flat to me. Also, the back story about Lena's son, Arthur, felt like an add on. It did not tie the story together as well as it should have.

Overall I was glad I read it. I would be curious to read Mr. Balson's future works to see if more character depth develops over time. He definitely has an eye for a compelling story.
