Review: Lost Ground by Ulla Jordan

25/3/2016

 
Picture
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.
