To Find A Mountain

[KP the nut]

Set in Italy during World War Two, TO FIND A MOUNTAIN tells the incredible story of a young woman named Benedetta Carlessimo.

When Benedetta's house is taken over by the German Command and her father is forced to fight for the Germans at the front lines, she is left alone to protect her family and survive the violent, battle scarred German soldiers living in her home.

Ultimately, Benedetta engages in a very real fight for her own survival, with the lives of those closest to her hanging in the balance.

TO FIND A MOUNTAIN is an unforgettable portrait of a war, a family, and a young woman who faces terrifying evil with incomparable bravery.

TO FIND A MOUNTAIN is based on true events.

I think I need a new book to start, and this one sounds good. Think I'll take the plunge if it's on kindle...

I sat and finished it this afternoon. It was a gripping read.

It is a decent book but I feel is is missing something.

I am 20% done. It will pick up and develop.

I finished it and overall it is a good book. I got it for free with Amazon prime so that helps too.

The ending was more rushed but I am actually thinking if being short was good for this book. It seemed like it was meant to be a somewhat light, afternoon read. Read on a rainy day type of thing.

This is more personal and not really the book but it got me thinking about it. It was disappointing that Benedetta was saved from being raped by someone else. I always get hopeful thinking maybe this time the character will save themselves, that they wont need a man to step in and save them. That they will do it all by themselves much like I did. The only book I have that this happened in was The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and she saved herself so well that it was one of the more memorable things to ever happen in a book.

But I guess a lot of people don't want to read about that. I guess that wont be light reading.

I started reading this book just today, somewhat delayed... Am on chapter 4 and so far it's not really grabbing me. Something about the way it's written feels a bit awkward or something... though admittedly my attention spanand tolerance levels are very low right now.

The author is getting good reviews of her books overall though, so I'm hopeful and will persist.
