I generally like immigration stories, so I’ll keep an eye out for this one.

Kathy – we see very little of Lithuania in the book, mostly NY and some Germany, BUT, I think you’d still enjoy a visit with THE PUZZLE KING.

carol – Yes, I can appreciate a “good” book that isn’t good for me; I understand.

Sue – he held dozens of patents. Very creative tying his art into advertising.

zibilee – that billboard drew me in, too …

Dorte – a true simile

rhapsody – me, too! Life IS a jigsaw puzzle, isn’t it

diane – I hope you get to read it soon; let us know what you think …

Kathleen – many people are commenting on the striking/unusual cover

Toni – I wanted to show Marie’s comments because they’re valid – there a few BIG issues that aren’t given big play (more of a personal family story, I think)

Sounds like an interesting read. The cover of the book is quite beautiful too and lately I seem to be paying attention to the covers and book jackets more when I pick out my books!

Your review really makes me want to read this book. I do enjoy stories about immigrants and I’m a sucker for the cover too.

This sounds good. I’ve always loved jigsaw puzzles, and stories of immigrants are usually very compelling. Thanks for the links too!

A very thought-provoking review. I loved that quotation about the old trees!
