Day After Night: A Novel by Anita DiamantI was disappointed in this book. I thought the premise was fascinating - Jews who were being detained after WWII by the British as they made their way to Israel. There was so much I didn't know about this period of time, and after reading this book I still don't! I think this book could have been much more in-depth, both in the history and in the characters. The characters were almost two-dimensional - I didn't feel connected to any of them - the backgrounds were only a few pages long and scattered around the book. Unlike The Red Tent, which was outstanding, this book just didn't do justice to the story.
I listened to this on audio, and really enjoyed it! The narrators, Hope Davis and Campbell Scott, totally made it interesting. The book itself was good, but a little predictable and in some places, a bit cliched. Still, it's definitely worth listening to.
