" The Depravity of Man, as seen in the microcosm of one young German woman's survival through the dark days of WWII. It is impossible for me to judge the choices of one who had no power over her life and her child's life during that period of time, nor do I insist she 'unburden' herself by confessing all the ugliness to her daughter later. I was left feeling that something else should happen, although I cannot think of what. I really liked the style of conversation without quotations. I will be thinking about this one for a long time, which is a sign of a good read! "
