The Wild Swans - Pegg Kerr

The Wild SwansThe Wild Swans
Synopsis
A retelling of the Hans Christian Andersen tale parallels the story of a 20th century young man. Both are cast out of their homes and must discover how to stay true to themselves while being persecuted by the people and circumstances around them.

Review
Unfortunately I found this book difficult to get through. I was not able to connect with either of the main characters and found the supporting characters to be flat stereotypes. The pacing was a bit awkward, and the parallel story lines were confusing at times.

My Recommendation
I was just not a huge fan. 2/5 - If it happens to be around, it's OK.
