t was a sequel to another story and it assumed one knew and understood the previous story even though it was not narrated. It assumes you know and understand the history of the 1930-1940's. There is one thing that I did find good about the book is that it seems to be writing about the conflicts of pursuing your dreams when every one else is trying to derail your efforts. The story makes you feel that you actually know these characters even though his characters may come from a culture totally alien to the reader....
