Tropical Secrets is beautifully written in verse form. It is a heart wrenching account of the plight of Jewish refugees in the late 1930s. I discovered some shameful human history which I did not know. It is a wonderful book.
I didn't enjoy reading this book. It was written in verse. I guess I didn't like it because it was written in verse but, I enjoyed the plot line behind it. I would recommend this to someone that likes to read stories in verse or someone that is dying to read a book and can't find a good one.
