Marta Tandori never ceases to deliver.  Too Little, Too Late is the best that I have read yet.From 1945 Poland and the horrors of the war, through 2011 Too Little, Too Late follows young Katarina Holberg through her life as she tries to put the pieces back together after the war.  She discovers truths about her family that completely change how she sees herself as a human being, a daughter and a sister.  This dark secret about her family, and especially her father, haunts her throughout her childhood, scars her in young adulthood and very nearly kills her, her daughter and granddaughter.When Ms. Tandori writes a character, it is fully developed with a vim and vigor all its own.  I find myself thinking about the characters long after I have put the book down.  I wonder what Karen is up to now, or if Maria is going to be able to stay warm and safe.  I wonder if, had I stood in the same room as Katya, with my enemy helpless on the floor before me, I would have done the same as she had.  And, I found myself crying along with her when....well, when she wept!I definitely look forward to reading more by Ms Tandori.  I am very happy, as an avid reader of mysteries to have found this author!
