During the last moments of calm in prewar Prague, Lenka, a young art student, and Josef, who is studying medicine, fall in love. With the promise of a better future, they marry--only to have their dreams shattered by the imminent Nazi invasion. Like so many others, they are torn apart by the currents of war.

I just... I'm in mourning, I think. I am mourning the end of my journey alongside Lenka and Josef. Though I'm overjoyed at the ending of my time in a concentration camp, I am mourning living inside of Lenka's memories and Josef's experiences. This book was riveting from beginning to end, and I'm pretty sure my quarterly review at work next week will reflect my utter disinterest in my job for the two days I was reading this. Oh well, totally worth it.
