This book is one of the most beautiful novels I have read, both in language and plot. Characters are multifaceted and full of life, however as each moves to their own destiny you do not feel as though you are missing out on their stories. The love that is intertwined in each page is a guiding light that shows us that through challenges and flaws, true love can and will persevere.
Many times reading this book, I questioned if I could stomach what would occur and how it would end. I was so hopeful that this would be a book about found family, a father figure, rather than the relationship that came to pass.
Bryn Greenwood has incredible storytelling skills that brings you into a world that at times felt too real to bear.
This book was remarkable. It was definitely refreshing in the new way that it was written. The narrator is death, and he gives us hindsight into a world you never would have imagined. The characters are ones that strike emotion in you immediately. Your opinion changes with the book and the characters evolve into individuals you would be proud to know as well. Touching on multiple difficult subjects, this book does it remarkably. Nazi Germany will never be the same to anyone reading this.
This was a hidden gem sitting on my shelf. The writing is clever and intelligent while also remaining lighthearted and easy to read. You will grow to love each character on their own and cry when saying goodbye.
