The Way the Crow Flies - Ann-Marie MacDonald


800+ pages of a poignant, emotionally wrenching and deeply satisfying story of a little girl growing up in the early sixties, and the web of intrigue that surrounds a local murder and the repercussions on her and her family. It took me 200 pages before I got into the book, initially it seemed a bit wordy and overly detailed describing the minutiae of a little girl's and her family's life. But after that it just grabbed me and pulled me along in an intense grip of emotion and feeling. Very interesting detail about Project Paperclip the hush-hush project about importing Nazi war criminals into USA.
