The Last Light Over Oslo by Alix Rickloff
I won this from a goodreads giveaway. I am a fan of historical fiction and I really wanted to like this, but it was very slow and felt unfinished. In the Author's Note she talks about the items that she used to research Daisy, but Daisy was not the main focus of the book, Cleo was. And Cleo's story went unfinished. Daisy was the historical part and Cleo (and Baynard) were the fiction part. But the ending made me more curious about Cleo and what happened to her than I was with Daisy getting safely back to America. I want to know if Cleo and Baynard survived and ended up together. I did not care about how Daisy was received at home and if she was removed from her post as ambassador. The book did not seem to flow very well and there were times where I was not sure if we were focusing on Daisy or Cleo. Plus the ending. I enjoy historical fiction but I will probably not read anymore from this author.
