From the New York Daily News: “‘The Paris Wife’ is good, but ‘Circling the Sun’ is much better.”
The reviewer calls it “bold, absorbing fiction.” http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/theater-arts/paula-mclain-circling-sun-flier-beryl-markha-article-1.2291955
As is often the case, the opinions run the gamut. I think I’ll swear off reviews until after I’ve read the book. Generally, the less I know, the easier it is for me to immerse myself in the story.
(I’ve never read Out of Africa OR seen the movie. Guess I’d better get on that!)
