A review by myza
Daniil and Vanya by Marie-Helene Larochelle

3.0

Thank you to the publisher for this advanced reading copy. This book has a very interesting premise. French Canadians Emma and Gregory go to Russia to adopt twin baby boys from an orphanage and take them back to Toronto to live. From the moment this book started I knew that it would pack a punch as it was a short novel that was about a very sensitive subject (international adoption).

I read this book in a day as I was compelled to keep going to find out what was going to happening next in these characters lives. I found some of the scenes made me really uneasy and sometimes I wanted more explanation rather then to be rushed through. I do have to say that the ending was quite good and the book has me guessing throughout.
