I loved Gentleman in Moscow, so wanted to try this. I know this is going to sound weird. I enjoyed it very much but the writing had a 'Fannie Flagg' feel to it, which gave it a gentle, sometimes humorous, sometimes sad feel. I liked that. Just didn't expect it. Good vs Evil, how to forgive, understand others, not judge harshly, equating the east-west feel of the highway with the full scale spectrum of good vs. evil, the perspective of the young boy vs. the adults, the perspective of the nun Sister Agnes.
