Thank you NetGalley and Harper Muse for accepting my request to read and review Where the Wandering Ends.

Author: Yvette Manessis Corporon
Published: 09/06/22
Genre: Historical Fiction

A generational tale beginning in 1946 and ending in the 2000s. Frankly, I was not the intended audience for this book. The story moved so slowly I had to remind myself the premise. The author does deliver various highs and lows; however, for me I couldn't grasp onto a story. I felt like I was in a car and a passenger talked spilling every moment of their life.

When I was able to stay focused, I suspected I should read the synopses closer. While evaluating why I'm 0 to 3 on selecting historical fiction books that are enjoyable, the "haunting childhood vow" was perhaps my clue to move on. Even in war times, children are children. I find it hard to imagine the vow being significant. Now I'm grasping at straws.

Overall, this is a 2 star book from me. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't interesting. The cover is beautiful.
