Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I so very much wanted to enjoy this book, but it could not get going for me at all. It jumps around, seems to have very little plot, and has so many characters that it rivals a good old Tolstoy novel, although this is far less charming. I couldn’t keep people straight, couldn’t figure out the point of things and after picking it up and reading for a while, noting the page I was on and wondering how I got that far, figured out that my kids had skipped me 30 pages and I couldn’t even tell. It’s just that disjointed. At that point I decided that this is, sadly, a DNF. ( )Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This book was based on the life of the author’s grandmother beginning in Ukraine in 1875 through to modern-day Poland. Although the book is fiction, there are plenty of historical events, including World Wars I and II and the German occupation. Even with the family tree at the beginning of the book, I had trouble following this story and figuring out who all the characters were, who was talking, and who they were talking about. The most moving part of the story was the beautiful relationship between grandmother and grandson, who gives up a part of his life to care for his grandmother LaLa, who is slowly declining into dementia. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I truly wanted to love thIs book. It had so much going for it (family drama! Eastern European politics! Generations over time!) but I really never got hooked. Was it the translation or the the source text? I hesitate to blame the translation because it was the way the story jumped around that made it hard for me to get into. Sometimes this kind of construction gets me interested in solving whatever puzzle the author is crafting- but in this case it just exhausted me. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I could not get into this book. I kept wondering if it was a memoir or just fiction. I'm afraid to say that, although I tried several times, I DNF this book. I loved the premise and had very high hopes, but for me, it was just to disjointed. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Struggled with this one...I do not know if it was the translation into English but I felt this book was all over the place. I picked it up and abandoned it a handful of times before ultimately DNF about 40% through.

"Lala has lived a dazzling life, filled with love, betrayals, acts of courage and some of the most extraordinary events of the twentieth century. There is nothing she likes better than to tell stories of her fascinating past - of her grandfather, the legendary owner of the first car in Ukraine; of her aristocratic mother; and not least of herself. Her most avid listener is her grandson, Jacek, to whom she is extremely close. As she grows older and becomes increasingly confused, her tales become more repetitive and Jacek often finds himself filling in the gaps. Based on the life of the author's grandmother, intertwining detailed historical research with enthralling family accounts, Lala's story stretches from Kiev in 1875 to modern-day Poland, spanning the First and Second World Wars, the German occupation, the revolution and the republic."--Publisher's description.
