Mrs. Moses is a small woman with a big heart and enormous courage. The only survivor of a Cossack raid on her village, she takes with her a big cast-iron frying pan, so heavy that she can only sling it over her back. Yet this is no ordinary frying pan, it's The Family Frying Pan, blessed with a Russian soul. From this frying pan Mrs. Moses manages to feed the various refugees who are travelling with her across Russia to freedom. In return, each of the group must tell a story around the campfire at night, stories of compassion and bravery, of human frailty and, above all, of hope.©2013 Christine Courtenay; 2014 Bolinda Publishing Pty.

I loved everything about this novel! So very well written - in true Bryce Courtney style. Can’t decide which one I love more, The Power of One or The Family Frying Pan.

The intertwined stories were interesting, but the female narrator was very weak. The accents were poorly done, slipping family often, and there was no intonation difference between different characters.

Good story, weak execution
