review 1: Haunting and beautiful--I think this one will stay with me a while. Partly because it's so different than what I usually read, but mostly because of Felix. I connected with him from the start, and with Baldur through him. When I reached the end on the train a little while ago I thought I'd give it four stars but then I wasn't able to pull up a new book for the last five minutes of the trip and I knew it had to be five.
review 2: An intense beautifully written love story set in Germany at the very end of the war. Voinov manages to capture the sense of exhausted desperation felt by the German fighter pilots, support staff and civilians alike. This stoicism in the face of imminent military defeat is a counterpoint to the thread of unspoken feeling and verboten des... moreire between lowly aircraft mechanic Felix and pilot hero Baldur. In a tender and perfectly understated interlude the two become lovers. As the Allies close in, love, duty and patriotism tangle in a bittersweet but entirely satisfactory conclusion. less
