I have just read this 2nd and final book in the Hidden Masterpiece series. Like the Butterfly & the Violin, this novel shares its time between the WWII era and present time. I found that I was equally interested in the characters then and now, and wasn't frustrated or challenged by it. There was links with the previous novel which made me the first one so I could remember the details better. Some books you might read and then toss, but I think this is worthy of a place on my shelf where I can lend it out to friends.

Not as good as her first book
A Sparrow in Terezin is the sequel to The Butterfly and the Violin, and the two books do need to be read in order. While A Sparrow in Terezin is a good novel, I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected, as I didn't think the two timelines worked as well. I found the present-day timeline frustrating, as it didn't seem to be moving the story forward and the link between present and past seemed contrived (I can only assume the minor character linking the stories will actually turn out to be a major character in a later book). \\r\\n\\r\\nIt didn't help that the past plot took a long time to get to the point-it's not until two-thirds of the way through the book that Kaja arrives in Terezin, by which time I'd been so involved in her London story that I'd forgotten the implications of the title. The sequence of events which lands her in Terezin, a ghettoconcentration camp, seems unlikely and her motivation for taking those steps is noble, I didn't think it fitted with her character as it had been shown. \\r\\n\\r\\nThe writing and research were excellent, although the Christian aspects were too oblique for my taste. I thoroughly enjoyed Kaja's story for the first two-thirds of the book, but I found the last third seemed disconnected, and I didn't get into Sera and William's story at all. The result was a novel that didn't meet my expectations, and left me feeling """"meh"""" in the end. \\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.
