Engaging characters

In the style we have come to expect from Adria Bernardi, OPENWORK does not dissappoint. She has developed wonderful characters whose lives seem relevant and poignant. Her knowlege of Italian history, geography and language make the book that much more interesting. It lost one star in my opinion for not drawing conclusions, or perhaps bringing closure to some of the many characters lives. The theme seemed a little lost at the end. Overall a very enjoyable book. I look forward to more from this author.
