Too long, too many words, not enough highs and lows, a little
too blah. This is about Hungary
at the time of the beginning of WW2. A poor family, one son wants to be an
architect, the other wants to be a doctor. They both get some scholarships to
go to school in France and Italy . The
architect meets a lovely woman, falls in love. The book circles around their
love story. War is hard, bad, unforgiving. Lots of sad things happen.

She marries a man she hardly knows. The book goes back and forth
between the present and the past in telling the story of these apple farmers.
The husband has owned the land with his family “forever”. It is an interesting
story. The wife is NOT well received by his family. She really doesn’t have
family. It is a hard existence but they learn to know and love each other.
