From the synopsis of this book, the reader might think it's a mystery-thriller centered around  the 17 yr. old Karen.  What it really is, is a disturbing book about family secrets; taking the reader from WWll Poland,  post war Norway, and landing in Hollywood. It's a tale about the characters surviving horrors, and having the resilience to create new lives for themselves. Karen's involvement in the killing of a homeless woman is the culmination of events in her family that she had no inkling about.  This was a book I couldn't stop reading, even though I was cringing at what might be revealed next.
