Lost Ground was an interesting one and not my usual read. It starts in 1936 and then takes in the 'Winter War' through the eyes of an American journalist, a young Finnish woman and her fiancee out at the front.
It's an interesting mix of war novel and love triangle romance. I must admit to not being blown away by the romance, it felt tired and slightly unreal to me. There was extensive research done to write this novel and I loved the attention to detail, but I didn't adore the novel. It was moderately gripping, but the characters have already slid from my mind. I didn't hate it and I didn't love it, I found it moderately entertaining and not particularly memorable.
I'm afraid even several days after finishing the book, I can't recall any of the action or the characters. It isn't the skill of the author, it may just be that this is not my kind of book.
