The Secrets We Kept

I have never read Doctor Zhivago, but now I'm really curious about it and think I'm going to have to! I read the book in the two parts as I'm not a fan of books that jump back and forward. I read ‘The East' from start to finish and then went back and read ‘The West' which worked for me. I didn't have to worry about which characters were which in which timeline and it all flowed well.

This was good (it will make you want to read/reread Doctor Zhivago) but I think it could have been really good with more careful character development. Or, perhaps not every character needed a POV chapter (I could have lived without hearing from Teddy).
