The Passage by Irina Shapiro
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I think I loved it. Such a strange story, I shall try to keep the spoilers out. Irina Shapiro has taken an old, much used plot to create a wonderfully rich story. The plot line is sufficiently intricate to keep me interested 'til the end. Wonder of wonders, this is the first of a series. If she keeps the same rich, interesting characters, I'm in.
She has an interesting way of conveying the thoughts and motivation of several characters at a time. None of the people in the story seem to fall out of petrsona, that is they behave like real people even if the situation is unreal.
