This was a very readable book. I enjoyed hearing about Prague and other parts of Europe, and the jumps in time were well done. The idea looking for the family’s medicine bundle is appealing and I really liked the character of Mimi, the protagonist’s wife. Two seniors looking back on their life together.
But the underlying theme was our helplessness to change the big wrongs of the world. Writing articles, etc etc does not change anything. I think there was some optimistic message at the end but I missed it. This is not an existential concern that interests me. Sometimes the author took me out of the book by being too expository about the ills of the world.
