The Forest of Vanishing Stars

Enjoyable despite the topic

Very well written, I flew through this book. The descriptions were brilliant and the story moved along well. A few twists were foreseeable, but somehow still managed to surprise.

It was an interesting POV. I know it's fiction, but the theme of good people doing what's right during tragic and evil things like the holocaust is something I often wonder about. Who were they? What motivated them (aside from doing what was right)? How did they cope with the loss? Anger? Not set in a ghetto or internment camp, this story gave a different POV.
