The Web of Humanity: A Novel by Maria Turchin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!

WOW!!! Such an amazing read! This is not a book I would normally pick up to read, but as soon as I started reading I could not stop! The adventure of Anna going to Berlin to discover the history within her family is just one amazing event after the next. I was saddened and also happy with Anna’s relationship with Fredrick, I guess the traditions and values that get passed down through each generation are hard to let go of. Her adventures are so fantastical, and that she gets to meet all of these different people along the way, and read of her grandmother’s story and what she endured in her life is beautiful. I was happy to see her find that connection to her family, and be able to give her grandfather the information on her grandmother that they were both wondering about. That time period was a terrible time for the world, so also reading about how she lived through that time period was very moving and very haunting. I can’t say enough good things about this book, I wish I could erase it all from my mind and re read it all over again for the first time. I highly recommend this book to anyone, no matter what genre you like.
