This book was okay... I was really interested in the plot and that of the St. Louis but something was just off... about this. I'm not sure if something was lost in the translation or what... but there was just really awkward parts, especially in Anna's side of the story. Two major things bothered me was how they dealt with Anna's father's death and how he's related to Hannah exactly. (view spoiler)[ Because Hannah is not Anna's aunt, its her great aunt. But throughout most of the book that's not explained and it's weird, which I thing relates back to translation issues. The other thing that bothered me was how they had Anna go to Diego's house and he have all this Jewish stuff that seems to belong to Hannah but then it's just left hanging and they don't address it after that. It seems like Hannah was forced to a different home in Havanna but then the author keeps talking as if they weren't. So it's very weird. (hide spoiler)]
