authors perspective & how the story was told.

I find it extremely interesting being able to see the authors perspective on war considdering she wrote in the midst of a war. But i wonder if maybe her perspectrive on the things that she worte about would have changed if she was able to write it after the war instead of during.

While on the topic of the authors perspective i would also like to express how I'm not to keen on the idea of not having a lot of options on the point of view of the story since it is only told by one person. I personally do not like how the story was told, i feel as if there are way to many characters to keep up with and the plot line was way too slow. Although the book didn't drag along as much in the second volume of the book Dolce.

I would also like to say that i really do respect this novel and it's historical value. It is a reality to see how people acted during the war and how betrayl, and other bad things start to shine in people as they continue to fear death and try to survive. This story shows that in times of survival it really is every man for himself. I think this is just a natural survival instinct.
